Nothing worse than making it 3 rounds in to an interview process and investing a lot of mental energy for a job you really wanted and getting rejected…just the worse feeling there is. I know it’s just a job, but damn.

Want more horror stories? I had 5 rounds, a case study, a meeting with a C-suite exec... and they didn't hire anyone.
For another role they took 5 months after my final round to make up their mind while keeping me warm.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

I am asked during this RE analyst interview to build a real estate model from scratch.

Do you have model to share?
