Is your workplace a gossip mill? Tread carefully. Loose lips can sink career ships, so discretion is key. Keep it under wraps if you think the news might spread like wildfire (and potentially cause awkwardness or burn bridges).

I don’t have a real feel to my team as I am still very new to the team and work remote most of the time.. I will be careful

I wouldn't.

No, never. It could never benefit and could only hurt, in my experience.

Hurt in what ways?

Rumors spread so quickly and people talk. I wouldn't want it to get out so I wouldn't anyone other than a trusted colleague.

I told one coworker now I regret it

Nope

Nope.

Nope

Yes, I have good relationships with them . Would wait till I was about to get an offer

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.

How much time does Naviga global take to send offer letter. My HR round was done on 3rd of September.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Actually, I gave Interview for BackEnd Developer @ Itilite.
