Yeah, PM1 is 100% correct. They would never waste the money if they didn’t think they want to hire you, but that also doesn’t mean it’s in the bag. It’s an interview, so just treat it like one. Do your best and plan for the worst. And remember, this isn’t one-sided. You’re interviewing them, too.

No one wastes money flying people across the country to check a box. There are almost always several highly-qualified people for any role. Only one of them will get it, which means one or more highly-qualified will not. Have you never interviewed multiple great potential AEs and only been able to hire one?

Hi folks,

I had got an assessment from
HSBC . Problem is that the link to the assessment opens to my career page and it is showing 'Access Denied'. There is a mail and a contact no in the same assessment but the mail is showing as invalid and the phone no is less than 10 digits. Whom to approach in this situation? There is no PoC from my side.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
