One Benefit of Biden's Capital Gains Tax Hike: Fewer Mergers

No, if you like the job and the prospective team, don’t worry about it. There’s no telling what the internal bureaucracy is at the company. Even VERY large, well-known, desirable companies can be slow and disorganized in the interview process. No telling how many sign offs, background checks, etc. are required before extending the offer.

Even if the internal recruiter is completely incompetent, the odds of you ever having a future interaction with them are near zero.

It is greatly to your benefit to remain calm, cool, patient, and polite. You never know if the recruiter has to go to bat for you internally. If they don’t like you, they won’t do it.

Good luck!

“Why adding a second engine can make an accident more likely—and what that means for side hustles, pivots, and new ventures”

Some good ideas here… example:

“ Aircraft design is an engineering problem that balances different risks against benefits in ways that quickly become very complex but are based on basic principles. These principles can be applied almost anywhere, including our personal lives and business ventures.

In the initial phases of any development, technological or otherwise, added capability comes only at the expense of added risk—and it’s extremely difficult to reduce that risk.”

“While the Jesus question can have several forms, the most common one is this:

What is your greatest weakness?

The Jesus question, you see, has nothing to do with believing in Jesus. The question is designed to determine if you think you ARE Jesus.”

“With a bit of planning, this type of question can be the easiest one in the whole interview. First, you know that it’s coming. Second, it’s often one of the last questions asked, meaning you’ve already had an opportunity to set up your response by tracing your education, experience, and career path. Third, there is a right answer, and executed correctly, it can be a great finish.

Yet, applicants—even experienced managers—frequently crash and burn on this question. That’s why employers ask it!”
