“I’ve been diagnosed for many years, and my medication is something I use to be able to live my life normally. Without it, I struggle a lot with reading comprehension, finishing my thoughts, losing things continuously throughout the day and my general perception of time. That can be really difficult, and my medication brings me back to a place where I can have more control over my life and correct some of that in my brain.”

Hi all, i recently did an interview with Servicenow. I completed all rounds of interview and they also collected all my documents. But then i didn't get any response regarding the salary negotiation or offer letter.

Can anyone please help me what can i expect (either i'm rejected or the hiring is freeze)

i’m in quite the dilemma - I have a new job that requires me to move to another state and remain virtual. However, I requested an exception to delay the move since I became pregnant and other reasons -i.e-no childcare in the state of moving and spouse can’t relocate with me at the current moment. I sent in a medical letter for my pregnancy care by my high risk specialist and they are reviewing this. I have since miscarried and still grieving. have no idea what to do.
