Anyone??

I think it was a couple weeks. Don’t worry about it. Unless you straight up lied. I remember I had “flags” come up because I said I was a chemical engineer and the company only said I was an engineer and HR just laughed. I know you’re freaking out but really just don’t. You will be fine.

Thank you! I’m not worried about any lies. I honestly just want this to go fast so I can give notice and take some time off. I’m burnt out and need it before I start haha

Mine took less than a week. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine

Thank you! Hoping mine is quick too so I can give notice

Any news on how this went and how long it took? I’m in the same boat! Still waiting for HR to start the process and also want to take some time to recuperate before starting 😅

I searched for the job on the website itself and it disappeared. There were like multiple positions but different locations, now they’re all expired. What does this mean? Did they choose a candidate already? It’s weird it never happened to me before

Thank you in advance 🙏🏻
