Interviewed with well known hedge fund, went through 10 rounds of interviews with them, killed it till round number 9 on all the technical questions, exhaustion set in at interview number 10, and I blew my chance, I regret not being able to crack that last interview till this date, probably would have been earning at least twice the amount of money I earn today, instead I am stuck in a back office role 😢

Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer. We set a time to talk on Friday about the offer. However, the announcement of targeted hiring freeze happened on Friday. I was ghosted with no call. What should I expect now? Would I still have chance to be offered?

Beginning to consider going in house (4th, corp) - I really haven’t thought about what I want, partly because I’m not sure what’s out there/attainable. Is it a bad idea to start by applying to a couple positions that interest me and seeing where that gets me? I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.
