If you can take a break, that's a good idea. Or just take a mini-break and spend an evening, or a few evening, examining what you've been doing in interviews. Perhaps you could brainstorm a new approach. If you've been doing enough interviews to feel exhausted, but you haven't been getting any offers, you might think about switching things up.

Take a break after your current round of interviews are finished

Agree with taking a break if you're able to. It's hard to mentally build yourself up to go through multiple interviews and not wind up with an offer. If you're feeling burnt out by all of it, dial the job search back a bit until you've got more energy to devote to it.

Have my closing interview with Accenture next week. So far the Director and MD I have met with have both liked me and the recruiter has said that they have both given me a thumbs up and that the upcoming closing interview with the MD is just a conversation.

Hi Fishes,
I had 4-5 rounds of interview in Amazon in last 1.5 months, including bar raiser. I got a mail stating I am selected for position within 4 hours of my bar raiser round.
HR asked for a few documents like last 3 months payslips, ECTC etc. It's been 4 working days and that HR is not replying on my mail. It is fine or something is off track ? Any suggestions ?
Does they usually turn back after sending selection mail and asking for documents

Thanks in advance !
