Wow! Luckily you had someone in the inside. These recruiters are some trash.
It's weird that they'd go on vacation and not send out an update of any kind. It sucks because it's the only job i really want out of the 3 that I'm interviewing for.

A job slid through the inbox that seems promising. Interview this afternoon with a job I don't really want, but I'm going to do the best I can anyway. It's with the State of MD and applied on the humble because they said plenty of jobs were available so it was more of a "well hire me for this one, then". Didn't expect to actually get a call. :heh:

You'd think it'd be weird, but ghosting and shoddy communication has been the norm with recruiters for a while now. I'm always hesitant to work with them.

fukking Amex man. I paid off my bill because I didn't want a balance to post on my statement. Had a couple of pending charges, paid the posted balance yesterday. Tell me why these fools decide to finally post those pending charges at like 11:59 last night :snoop:. It's not like it actually matters because it's gonna get paid, but damn man.

Ima hate my self for this but I’ll likely have to push my end of summer travel plans till December :francis:

This move is gonna cost a bit and the firm is only chipping in so much. Their rationale is, I’ve been working from home for almost a year with a salary well above the CoL in my city. I get it, but still :francis:

December should be better anyway, international travel should have sorted itself out and I can use my year end bonus to travel.

I’m past that stage where I say YOLO and charge the trip to my CC.

Got another interview today for an IT manager job. I think (and hope) this is the last round.

Hope I hear back about this job soon. It's the one I really want.

I also had an interview for an IT position on the same day last week. The company got back to me and said that there's about 3 hours worth of interviewing left. I don't understand why this is necessary for an IT job. I've already had 45 minute interviews with the head of IT and one of the senior guys on the team.

No update because the recruiter is on vacation.
:francis:

I only know because I asked my old coworker who referred me. They haven't given me any updates after the interview I had a week ago.

Probably didn't get the job. My old coworker says they mentioned another candidate to her. I got an email yesterday saying I'd get feedback by the end of this week. They probably sent out an offer to another candidate.

The other jobs I've been interviewing for just seem like the same old shyt. And the job I'm at now is just completely uninteresting.

Found this pickup line in a reddit comedy forum, and I thought our 6fig6cert brehs might appreciate it.





The line from breh: "hey, honey. Are you a 0% APR loan?:jbhmm:

Because I'm having trouble understanding your terms and you aren't showing any interest.":mjgrin:


Response from bird: :what: "but.... what's an apr?"

Got a verbal offer today from one of 2 tech companies I interviewed with over the last few weeks. Not excited about it as even though it's a salary bump and stock grant, it ain't that much to get excited over.

Also talked expected salary numbers with the other company, and recruiter said I should expect a formal offer this week. I would accept based on what I was told.

No way my current employer or company #1 would match. Happy and ready for this process to be over
