Depends. Day before if you aren't interested, day of if it's an emergency.

I had an old boss who would always cancel an interview because something came up at his job the day of. I watched him do it a few times (he was telling me he’d take me with him once he got someplace better). It seemed flaky and risky to me, but I watched it work like freaking gangbusters.

It made people at the new place want him more, because he was so dedicated, and because people apparently wanted him at meetings. I know thats not what youre going for, Im just saying if you cancel the day of, say its becauae of a meeting, then maybe when they reschedule, say (in a nice way) “no thanks, I think Im happy here.”

funny

@AD1 agreed, I didnt mean to say do this in this way, I meant the OP can cancel very late as long as you do it nicely.

Don’t unless you have no plans of rescheduling.

Hello,

Last Wednesday I was able to get a
Deloitte job referral, I applied the next day. Yesterday I signed in to my account and it shows that I applied for the job but when I click on the link it show me an error page. I searched for the job on the website itself and it disappeared. There were like multiple positions but different locations, now they’re all expired. What does this mean? Did they choose a candidate already? It’s weird it never happened to me before

Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

Hi, I'm an artist with 5 years of experience in the game developmentindustry.

After interview sessions, it comes to salary negotiation. To my surprise, the salary offer is below industry average, even more like junior-level salary.

Though my experience includes team leadership and I have described in detail how I could contribute to the company, the interviewer raised the offer, adding $300 only, still in junior salary range.

What does it really mean, and how do I win the negotiation?

TIA.
