Went through 2 rounds of interviews, recruiter told me there’s a general positive consensus and she’ll be quick to email me next day for next steps. Today’s the next day... crickets. Am I overthinking

Yes. People get busy. Don’t sweat it

I don’t often have enough time in the day to answer all the emails I get about internal deadlines and things I have to do, much less somebody who doesn’t work there yet. It sucks when you wait, but go do some activities to take your mind off it

Sometimes i say - another company is checking my avails, i explained i was on hold - how long do you think I will need to stall them till i hear back?

I have a in person(online, 4 hours - 4 people) technical interview coming up and I have been practicing my coding for the past 3 weeks. The only thought I've been having is "what if I can't solve the coding question?" I am still fairly new to the software engineer scene and the position is for a level 1 software engineer.
Does it essentially end my chances if at any point I can't solve the question? I mean I will definitely attempt to talk it through, ask question, but no progress in code. 🤷

Hi everyone,
I want to learn Salesforce Tableau CRM (formerly known as Einstein Analytics) and switch to a different organisation. In my current company stuck in a project where there's no learning scope, no growth and work culture is toxic. Now I'm only going through Trailhead, YouTube playlist videos and practicing hands on in my free personal org. Are these enough to crack interviews or not? I don't have real-time project experience.

If a senior partner referred me, and I still haven't heard back after 4 weeks, what could be the reason as to the delay? Am I not getting an interview?

Hey all,
So I’m currently interviewing for another position, to be a business development specialist at a relatively large tech company in PA. I have about a years worth of experience. Indeed estimates the salary to be between 60k-80k, I was wondering what I should expect?

I’m appearing for data scientist interview and curious to know more about the interview format. It’s an hour long call and have to code in Google Doc.
Did anyone recently appear for similar role? What was the interview format like? Was it algo focused or mostly about statistics?

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
