When conducting a reference check for a new hire, does the content of the references affect how much you're willing to offer the candidate? What do you take into account when you're making an offer and how do you decide where on the salary band they land?

Not really. If we’ve gotten to the point where we’re asking for references, then we’ve already decided we’re probably gonna hire this person and have a budget in mind. If the references don’t pan out then we don’t offer the position.

good to know the strength of the references isn't too big of a factor!

I have offer from qualcomm, offer letter might come in next 2 days.
I have Nvidia interview next week. (Nvidia is dream company for me)

Assuming Nvidia interview takes 2 weeks.
Is it okay if I accept qualcomm offer for nw and reject it later if Nvidia hires me.
Or without accepting qualcomm offer i need to inform same to qualcomm hr
What should I do?

(Ps . My current employer notice period is 60 days and it has not started yet)

Hi! I’m trying to create a macro that pulls a copy of a sheet from a file with a certain date in the file name into a new workbook. Is there a way to do this?

I’ve had a really tense, emotionally exhausting week. Things wrapped up yesterday and now my body feels so strung out and exhausted. Any tips for coming down from being so strung out without relying on toxic habits and just shutting down/procrastinating? (My brain is saying “go for a run” and my body is getting stuck picking at my eyebrows for two hours) I feel like my central nervous system is on a roller coaster.
