"Why do you want to join this company?" - What is the answer that is expected from us in an interview?
I gave all the good pointers I researched about the company but she said how my current org also gives similar benefits and atmosphere. Plus it's a BIG 4 company too, so why are u still looking for a switch?
This qs is giving me the nightmares honestly. I cannot exactly confess it's for higher compensation, right? Then what am I supposed to say? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

To be honest, I always prefer giving honest answer that it's compensation as well but will the companies really accept this honesty? Wouldn't they think that this person can anytime switch to other company if he got a better offer? Or that he or she won't be so loyal to the company so why bother to hire? I might be overthinking but I cannot help it because this question makes me feel so guilty about switching for higher compensation. Yes it's a valid reason coz we all have bills to pay but this question gives me the jitters😞

Yeah but, like I said in my other comment, you need to mentioned bullshit like opportunities, respect for the company AND compensation. Not just compensation.

I just started a new job 2 months ago, benefits and PTO don’t start until 90 days in so I still have a month before I can take off any time, and today found out my company doesn’t offer paid maternity leave.
I’m really struggling handling the symptoms and maintaining my full time job. Thinking about looking for a part time job to have more time to myself through the pregnancy since I won’t be getting a paid leave anyways, but lost on where to start looking. Any recommendations?

I have a Q that I worry is going to make me sound like a jerk, but want some opinions. I do strength training 2x/wk with a trainer who was assigned to me at a gym where I bought a pack of sessions. I don’t really consider myself “his” client bc the relationship is managed by the gym… but lately he keeps saying like “I can’t wait to see what my clients give me for Christmas” and I find it super awkward. I pay $150 per session for these workouts (cont’d in comments)…

Hi fishes,

I need help in making a decision.

I have 2 offers. One is from The Boeing Company and the other one from Deloitte. I got 100% hike from Boeing and the role is better, so I accepted it.

I told Deloitte the truth that I have accepted another offer, but they are asking me to reconsider. Deloitte told me they will match the offer. I also felt that they are in position to offer something significantly higher.

I would appreciate suggestions on how to tackle this situation.

Thank you
