If they extend an offer, be transparent with your hiring manager and recruiter about your situation and they’ll probably work with you.

6 weeks . I told them I needed to take off to attend my brother's wedding. They said just start the Monday after.

Four months.

6 months. Talk to your hiring manager about your situation.

One month. I usually say I need to do my two weeks followed by wanting a transition period aka I want time off to decompress. They usually understand and never had a problem. Also say that you want to start one month AFTER everything clears (background check, papers signed and processed etc)

If a recession happens, as it looks like we are upon one, how would firms decide who to fire? Would they look purely at hours and cut associates with the lowest hours? Should junior associates start saving money more aggressively now, (401k, HSA, IRA, brokerage) with the expectation that there might be future cuts?

Do most tech/SaaS companies make prospective employees sign NDAs? I'm interviewing for the first time in awhile and am entering into a final round with a company who wants me to sign an NDA prior to the interview. I'm hesitant to do so - especially since I am not sure if I even want to work for this company yet. Is this standard procedure?

Are customer engineers allowed to work from a country other than US if needed for a few days ? I am planning to visit India for visa stamping and I won’t have much PTOs to take.

Ops Senior Associate in expert track - any suggestions on how to start the process of looking for opportunities outside ? Which are the typical companies ( industry) that hire ex-consultants - TIA

Folks who exited to Google - how long after your final round did you have you wait before getting the decision? How was the decision communicated? Would love to also hear if you were confident you’d get the offer because you crushed it, or if you felt you had a mixed interview but still eventually got the offer.

Got my dream job entry level opportunity, 1 year out of undergrad. 70% pay bump, awesome company, extremely interesting subject matter, the hard work paid off. Im without a doubt accepting, but I am now feeling some tangible / physical anxiety over the likely significant shift in my WLB (and life), putting my two weeks in, working at a company nobody I know has worked at, etc. I start in a month. Anyone felt like this before, or have any advice for how I can adjust my mindset?
