On to my 8th interview with a company… what else am I supposed to ask at this point?

Ask them when you're moving in together, because depending on the state, you're common law spouses at this point.

Honestly, after 8 interviews, IDK what else they want from you. Ask them what their blood type is.

Pick at culture, biggest problem they deal with and best thing about working there. Both what is said and what is not said are usually very revealing.

8? Seems excessive.

I think it would be fair to ask what doubts or questions they still have after 7 interviews. You could say you are excited about the opportunity, loved everyone you've met etc and are looking forward to discussing an offer if they feel the same.

Not sure what they think 8 interviews will tell them that 7 have not, but I think you could put it back on them in a positive way (assuming you are, in fact, excited to join still after being put through the interview gauntlet!)

First off, unless you're joining the c-suite of the company, 8 interviews is too much. The nicest possibility is that it's a consensus culture and they want everyone to be happy with you joining. Remember that while this is your eighth interview with the company, this is the other person's first interview with you, and they might have had nothing to do with the interview schedule. So stay positive even if you want to throw something at the recruiter.

Ask if this is all really necessary and what else do they need to know? 8 is WAAAY too many

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!

I was given offer by Mastercard in month of Dec The hike was less but looking at brand & other perks I accepted the offer & was looking forward to joining them.I got few offers & I went back to them for sole purpose of renegotiating CTC, to have a industry standard hike.
