What were the phases of your job interview, and in what order?

This is common with smaller companies. The HM does the initial interview and you don't have the HR discussion until later.

This actually might just make more sense, going backwards from normal. Seems like a lot of interviews are going the opposite way, starting with the ‘fluff’ and not getting into the nitty gritty until later. Start with the hard part and then go easier from that.

Hey guys, newbie here please be gentle with me 😅. I have recently accepted an offer but my gut tells me it might not be the best for my future move.

Do you think I should start looking and make use of the shorter notice period during my probation?
