Recently, I’ve noticed a recurring pattern during my job search: after the interview and salary discussion, the conversation suddenly shifts to demanding an immediate start within a few days —as if candidates have no responsibilities or personal lives to arrange.

What’s even more unprofessional is when a company gives a start date, asks you to adjust your plans, and then disappears without a single update.

Anyone else experience this?

That seems fairly odd. I would be wary about any organization that seems in a rush to have you get started, as that's often the hallmark of a scam. Companies that offer fake jobs just so they can access your banking information are often in a hurry.

Yeah thats happened to me at my current job. They gave me a start date and a schedule and then after working one night shift they switched me to day shift with a day to adjust in-between. Currently sick after switching back and fourth on my sleep schedule

thats tough! I hate when companies decide to just turn the dime on you for things that werent in the job description

I’m barely getting to that stage, so hard for me to say. I know scheduling the interviews has been difficult. Not a lot of room for them to work with you.

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
