I was just recently hiring for a position and I interviewed a specialist, and the next day the specialists manager. Oddly enough, the specialist was way more intelligent and capable than the manager. We hired somebody else, but still a funny story

@SVP 1 I don’t know OP, but this happened to me a couple years ago. I made a bad choice and joined an awful agency. My boss had already been at said agency for 2 years and was over the BS but didn’t leave right away until he has something lined up since his wife just gave birth to their first daughter.

Another agency recently won a big account and decided to do a job fair. I not only saw my boss there as I was leaving but also saw another employee there too as I arrived. We knew how much we each wanted to leave so we looked out for each other.

It’s certainly rare which is why I can understand you questioning this, but also very possible.

Poor of the agency interviewing you both to allow that to happen. Should be a warning sign about how they operate.

A friend I worked with called me one morning for a pep talk before an interview. I pumped her up and told her I had an interview that day too. Turns out it was for the same job. Not only that, but when I was at the agency waiting to interview, a coworker walked out as I was walking in. Then, after my interview another coworker was waiting to interview next. All four of us were interviewing for the same position (they were filling more than one slot). None of us got it.

If an employee mentions something disparaging or accusatory about their manager during an exit interview, how would you handle?

I.e. employee claimed the manager made a disparaging remark about an item of clothing being worn by someone in accordance with their beliefs. If you opt to share the feedback with the manager, would the manager have a legal case against the company or former employee?

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

I interviewed for an employed role and knocked my business plan pitch out the park, but could tell I disappointed them with my technical. By my own admission I’m lacking in this area as only have 1.5 years experience with a poor manager who only had me focus on biz dev.

They asked me what my salary expectations are but had already hinted my experience would knock me down a pay grade.

As it was 4 of them and 1 of me I said I would email them. How do I play this without lowballing myself?

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
