I became a mom and four months down, head of new business (guy) in my company and the HR (lady) interviewed me for an exec leadership role.

However, the lady kept bringing back the topic that ‘I am a mom and need to focus on my family’ again and again and again. Honestly it was unnerving. The feedback I received from HR (lady) was we felt you won’t be able <cont. in comments>

10 open Leadership Supervisor positions.
Almost 30 applicants.

I said that "People come to me about process issues, and I worked with others to better that process for them and the team."
Interviewer feedback denying me the role was that because I did not say "People trust me and came to me about process issues. Which led me to collaborate with others that I have networked with in the past to find solutions." I did not get the job.

Was this Code-Switching nitpick?

I cleared two interview rounds for a Senior Consultant role, had a salary discussion with HR, then they shared a tentative salary structure and i have said ok to it over email. Then HR said next step will be me getting an offer letter 2 weeks later. Is it advisable to followup with them after 2 weeks or just let them do their thing slowly? I have seen posts here of them being very slow and not sharing the offer letter without followup.

Hi all! I’m in the search of a remote HRBP role, looking for a company that is willing to pick me up as a new HRBP. I’ve been in the role 4 months, but this company is a disaster. The culture is so bad, I had an employee say they can’t even go to the bathroom without permission. I’m really not wanting to go back to a generalist role. Prior to this job, I had another offer of HRBP but I didn’t like the interview. Been in the field 6+ years. Let me know if anyone has anything!
