Shields up, Scottie, yet another SCAM. As part of my extended process, I use the site "Built In Boston" which apparently has a solid rep for start-ups. That does not prevent scammers from latching on, as they do so on LinkedIn as well. In this case, I applied on a Sunday, and got a very positive message for an interview 2 hours later, a Teams Chat. SCAM! Nobody does business on a Sunday, and NEVER accept an interview that's IM based.

I interviewed for a startup called Doppel over a Teams chat. The interviewer felt like AI most of the time, but the company is legit. And the initial email came from a doppel.team email (their site is doppel.com) so I wonder. They also felt pushy but I attributed that to their fast paced work environment mentioned in their reviews. The offer letter’s design also looked wonky af, but I just thought it was bc they didn’t hire many designers yet. The HR contact’s LinkedIn page says she works there, but yeah it’s still the slightest bit sus. Thanks for the warning.

It's scary. They sometimes pose as a legit HR person (photo same LI headshot). But the warnings: unless your high up, nobody does biz on the weekend; no reputable place will interview via chat, and if the lag time is long: SCAM. For your health, delete ALL :no-reply" emails; never read them. An interview is going to declare INTERVIEW as part of the header. GL!

Hi,

I am done with the multiple rounds of technical interviews in PWC AC and HR confirmed that the feedback is positive and they are working on next process.
Its been one week I haven't received any communication on that. When I called HR, she told that background check team will reach out to me over email or call in some days.

Can anyone suggest if I should hope for the offer letter in this case from PWC AC or not.
Also, what salary I should negotiate for Senior Associate.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

Does anyone have experience interviewing with Deloitte Internal Services? I had my final interview a week and a half ago, and received positive feedback throughout. The hiring manager had positive things to say and mentioned they hoped to make a decision by the end of last week. It’s now Friday the week after. The role still shows as “Interviews in Process.” We did discuss potential start dates, but no salary. Any experience with receiving offers for an internal services role? Is this common?
