Do folks at other firms hate Webex as much as we do?! They made us switch about 18 months ago. People gate it.

I am used to WebEx now. Don’t hate it at all.

WebEx seems the least bad option out there. Why no one has come up with a far superior and more reliable option, I have no idea.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
