I'm pretty sure Baby doesn't beat anyone to death with the butt of a shotgun, rescue a hooker, or go ultraviolence on a police station, so I'm not sure where you're getting that.

I assumed it was similar in pace, atmosphere, action, sound/soundtrack and such, not a literal movie adaption of Hotline Miami :shrug:

i think the interview went great. they said 2-3 weeks (possibly sooner) and they will get in contact with me.

not sure how to gauge these things though since it's my first big boy interview.

Do accounting firms move pretty slowly? Most private sector companies give you feedback in a few days, if not the next business day.

e: I imagine all accounting firms are like the one in Parks and Rec. Probably not fair, but I like it that way.

If it's a GS position that sounds about right. That, or a contractor who hadn't gotten the award yet but was submitting a bid and needed to have people ready.

There are two companies I would prefer over this one. What's an appropriate time to wait before I call them back to ask if they have considered me?

If you have the contact info of the people that interviewed you, send them a thank you email today or tomorrow. Otherwise, circle back with the recruiter in two weeks. But if you get an offer for another position that you'd prefer anyway, call them and tell them you're withdrawing your candidacy.

If any of you have a Nexus 6P that you bought from the Google store and you have battery issues, try getting it replaced right now. Just went through the process (including nearly three hours on hold with Google) and am getting my 64 GB 6P replaced with a 128 GB Pixel XL.

I just went through this. Buckle up. They're interviewing other people for those 2-3 weeks. This is not an issue of them taking that long to consider you. That would only take a few days -- those weeks are being used to interview other people. In other words, don't follow up early, except for a thank you note, and/or if you have another offer -- if they really like you, they may be willing to make a decision earlier than planned. Start applying elsewhere. Worst case, you have two offers competing against each other. Do not stop interviewing and applying until you have accepted an offer.

The speed in which a company moves depends on how close you are to other offers. When you tell them "I'm actively looking at other companies" they speed things up. If you tell them "I expect (or have) an offer from another company" then miraculously you get an in-person interview/offer at light speed. Assuming of course that the company actually wants you and isn't fishing, or that they're even capable of moving quickly in the first place.

I just got mine in March, so no battery issues yet. I just hope they're still doing that if/when mine goes to crap.

You skipping the 9 nomenclature makes sense from an advertising point of view. In a few months it's going to be "Ew, you still have a 7? That's ancient. Why don't you get the 8 with the extra camera and faster processor" and "Ew, you have an 8? Are you cheap or something? Get the X so you're not two generations behind." It's like Jeremy Clarkson explaining the classes on his car-train. Why ride Scum Class when you could pay a few dollars more to be in Second Class?
