    2. NerdWallet needs a cover letter for a role I'm applying to. Been a while since I've created one lol. Worth it?

        Pros

        - Generally alright work/life balance - Good salary for years of experience - 100% remote-friendly. People that go into the office are the outliers, but it is an option. Most people don't live in the same state as an office.

        Cons

        - For software engineers, it's not really a technology company, it's a content company. Which is fine if you're not worried about working on the latest cutting edge tech in whatever stack. - They tout "unlimited" PTO, but once you book about 4 weeks, your name is on a list and you get directors checking with your management chain on why you're taking so much. - Lots of thrashing around with re-orgs, acquisitions, layoffs, can be unsettling. - Stock price wildly fluctuates up and down, but it seems like their compensation is more heavily weighted towards salary to offset that.

        I've heard the culture is pretty awesome, but I have to say, I went through some of the recruitment process and then *crickets*. It kinda left a bad taste in my mouth.

      I finished third round of interviews but realized there’s an experience that isn’t on my resume (since it’s not directly related to the jobs I’m applying for) nor did I mention it in the interview process, but it would actually be great for me to leverage and demonstrates a relevant skill for the role. Is it worth emailing and dropping a quick note about it, or should I leave it?

      I have a supply chain & inventory manager interview coming up for a museum. Can anyone provide me some insight on what questions I should be prepared for? What key points to highlight during my interview? Any tips and advice is appreciated!

      I finished final round interview. Should I send a thank you letter to everyone or only to people where I have something interesting to add on. I interviewed with the hiring manager twice already and sent thank you emails. He never responds, should I even bother to send him one more since we talked again in the final round? HR said I wouldn’t hear back until late next week earliest. It sounds like they still have to wrap up final rounds with other people. I don’t want them to forget me.
