Need Advice*** I successfully completed my interviews and was told today their working on my offer of 90k+ BUT I got thrown for a loop with the last interviewer (head of HR). She mentioned A hybrid schedule of 3 days in office, but the executive I’d be supporting told me different. I’d only have to go into the office on occasions where she’s there or for important meetings (she lives in TX and office is in CA). How do I handle this conflicting information?

”[Head of HR Name Here], I just wanted to touch base with you regarding my schedule. When I spoke with [name of exec], they had informed me I would need to go into the office on occasion they’re there or for important meetings. During our interview, you had mentioned the schedule of three days in office and two remote, so I wanted to confirm the details in case I had missed something. Thanks!”

UPDATE:
They gave me what I wanted: remote! 🎉

I wouldn’t panic yet, most likely the executive and head of HR just aren’t in communication on this. HR is likely going off a corporate ‘standard’ for most employees, and the executive is speaking from their preference/need. The question will be who overrules who here. But put it back to them to sort out and align/confirm for you.

If it’s a deal breaker for you, ask before they spend the time finalizing the offer - especially if it’s something you want to negotiate for as they’ll have to take it into account. Often times executives might have no idea what corporate policies are coming into effect or don’t think it’ll apply to them, so could be an honest assumption they made. Or could be a non-issue because the executive in this case may actually get to dictate their own rules that applies to their EA too. Depends on the size of the company and who’s who. Doesn’t hurt to ask now - if anything it shows your interest and wanting to make sure everyone is clear on expectations before things go too far.

You would go by what your executive you are supporting is saying. HR is just talking typically, but your executive will have the last word on it.

If you don’t mind me asking, what company did you receive a offer for? I hope everything works out in your favor!

What company? Def go back to recruiter and ask if something changed ?

That’s confuse! The email template below is perfect. Sorry? What was the company, are you comfortable sharing ?

I agree with everyone here saying to clarify. When you get to offer stage, have your work schedule in your offer letter listed.

I would see what your contact states when you get it. If it doesn’t state the specifics, go back to your supervisor and ask for her to please make sure that she have it in your contract. That’s all.

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities.

The same boat? Stay safe!
