Question for yall. How likely is an offer once a company decides to do a reference check? I know I am in the final 2, from context clues in interviews. I just dont want to get my hopes up.

I’ll say every company is different. For me the honest answer is 50/50 if they are calling references. Unless it is company policy or a Senior managers rule most of the time I’m calling references to determine any last plus or minus to decide who would be the best hire.

This! I always like to find out their process in the first interview conversation for this reason. Let's you know what to expect.

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?

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am.

It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
