Congrats, nuppal! How do you think they’ll feel about you spending most of the work day on AF?

As long as you keep posting you can take the job. Congrats buddy! Have fun on South Beach…smell ya Jenny!

That happened once at my old firm. Some dude got dinged within 5 minutes of arriving and the story became legend around the office.

I actually met the guy who called me few weeks back. Pretty funny now.

I will post some of mine this weekend. I have for the most part the best luck on being at the wrong place at the wrong time. For instance, my dad calls me and says if I saw the news on BS and how they are all going to lose their jobs. I said “dad, I am work for bear” he replied"OH"
I interviewed for ER at a US nationwide midmarket IB that’s seen some strong growth and has a pretty well reputed ER department. So, 6 hour session involving about 5 hours of interview and a 1 hour test after an initial 40 minute phone interview the week before. Things go good, I’m basically told I have the job. Next step is to check references, they really want ones from my current employer. So I go through this step as well and while current managers are very supportive, I take myself out of the running for a round of promotions I was a front runner in. Hiring manager says I have the job, starts talking start dates and tells me to expect offer letter in my email by Friday (interview was on Monday). Friday passes, he says very hard to get ahold of people with holidays approaching, expect it following week. That was 5 weeks ago. I’ve been keeping in touch once a week, I call him or he calls me and each week same story (offer letter tomorrow). Finally today, he says he isn’t authorized to hire; word from MD is hiring across all departments is frozen until annual post bonus budget meeting and review mid February. A similar thing happened to my friend with an IB position. Moral of the story: If they ask you if you have any questions at the end of the interview, a valid one may be “Does this position actually exist?”
^ that sucks man. I faced same situation two weeks back, sent my resume to company hr for a job that was posted on LinkedIn. Got his mail back that I should instead apply via company’s website, went through company’s website but the job didnt exist on it. Emailed him back asking the same question ‘does the job exists’, havent heard anything from him. I really thought LinkedIn postings were genuine, esp if they came from company HR, but oh well, I was wrong.
