Find a friend to loan you a laptop or an iPad. Regardless of what device you use for the interview, the first thing you should do at the start of the interview is agree troubleshooting playing with the interviewer. Will you log back into zoom? Who will call whom if you need to switch the phone? do you have each other’s phone numbers?

I’m highly disappointed about the fact that whenever I talk to the HR teams or recruiters about joining bonus, they state there’s no provision. However, my male colleagues or ex co-workers who interviewed for the same position where offered a joining bonus. This has happened to me twice now and I’m starting to believe something is wrong in the system or there is some kind of biased against women at certain workplace.

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company.
