When you interviewed for a new job, did you decline any job offers? Part of me is feeling guilt knowing I went through the whole process but declined at the end

Coming out of UG, I accepted my first job b/c I thought I had to based on status of other interviews.

Considering this is technically my second job out of school, how long should I stick around before trying to leave without looking like a total scumbag opportunist?

What kind of questions have you been asked in interviews? I’m being invited back for a second interview for a Sr. Accountant position. The first one was very conversational.

I have another one week to go to join EY GDS. But I haven't got tagged any counselor yet, and no onboarding procedure intimation. The HR with whome I used to talk during interview, is not picking up the call. What is happening? It feels like I didn't get the offer. Very bad.

I wanted to spread a little positivity this Friday afternoon. I just started a new job after casually interviewing for several months at the start of the year to do a little research on the marketing job market, and then seriously interviewing/searching since May. After coming close with several other jobs but something always going wrong (low ball pay, role put on hold, etc.) I finally got THE job. I’m excited about it, I’m paid well, and fully remote. So don’t settle, and don’t give up! ✨
