What’s the strangest place you’ve been interviewed? The second round phone interview for my current job was taken in a Rocky Rococo Pizza parking lot! 🤣🤣🤣

I was interviewed by foxconn in a vacant mall store. Everything in there was like stuff they found at goodwill.

I was once interviewed in a storage room. It was full of random stuff apparently left behind by the failed startup which had previously rented the space.

Home Depot parking lot for me. I'd been job hunting for months without hearing anything, finally got an interview request for that day, then when I was out shopping, the recruiter called to say there was a schedule conflict and wanted to know if there was any way I could do the interview sooner. I didn't want to reschedule and risk it, so I said yes, and sooner turned out to be 15 minutes from when they called. Figured it was better and safer to do it in the parking lot than on the road, so I did it parked outside the garden center. Got the job too.

Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

Is it normal for a Product Owner to lay out specs for how a feature should work?

I thought that was my job as the ux designer to figure out the best way to solve a need. But I’m getting handed projects where the PO, and sometimes the senior designer has laid out exactly what should happen (components used, flow, etc) to design a feature. It’s really frustrating because I don’t know if I’m supposed to be speaking up on what I think or just do the UI work I’m asked to.

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
