Yes. Say thanks and refer to something he said in the call and why you are excited about pursuing a job with the firm.

Either keep it short or don’t do it. It’s really weird if it’s long winded

Sure why not

Yes

I got my first internship bc the receptionist told me to send one and my boss said it made a difference in why he chose me. Agree now it seems outdated or unnecessary, but I still feel obligated to send and believe it can’t hurt. Just shows appreciation / excitement imo

Yes. Even if it doesn’t sway their decision, it doesn’t hurt. Just be a decent person

Doesn’t make a difference at my firm. We are required to make our recommendation immediately. Usually have a bunch of them in a row and a “handler”(recruiter) who is collecting feedback immediately afterwards.

Hi everyone, I have recently given interviews to Amazon, and all the rounds went well according to me.

Could you sharks help me out with experience because it’s the first time i am switching a company. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.
When can I expect to hear back from them.
Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?

Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

Neither of these feel that helpful. Any one have suggestions for other identity-based goals that get at these changes I want to make?

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
