What do you guys do when interviewing for a new job on a Friday? Tell the team you have an appointment or just hope they don't notice you're offline for 6 hours?

Received a verbal offer/commitment from the engineering team 3 weeks after my interview process. Still sitting and waiting (1.5 weeks) to have the conversation about compensation expectations and finalizing the offer. Is the Google hiring process typically this slow?

I have a job interview today that I’m actually nervous about. That’s a good sign right? All my other ones I was dreading or just wanted to skip. I’ve only been jobless for 2 weeks - I would like more time, but this is a company and boss that we’ve been dancing around each other for about a year. And they have a position open at the same time I need a job.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year.

I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.
