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.

Hi All,

I have given an interview for BI Customer Analyst for 3 years experience @NielsenIQ. How much salary should I expect?

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number. But if you have a case study, for example, is it better to say "Client X increased their revenue to 1,000,000 ARR" instead of "Client X increased their revenue to 987,500 ARR" ? Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job.

Do I just make something else up entirely?
