I got a job offer from Company A on the 5th. I tell Company B about the offer and they say there should be a decision from them by the 12th. 12th passes and no answer, but on the 15th Company B says they haven't made any final evaluations but "However, if you want to act on your other job offer, please go ahead. I wouldn’t want you to miss an opportunity while we sort out any potential offers."

I cant tell if that's a stealth rejection or if they're just that slow

My current title is Senior Chemist, which rules because I'm not senior at all


speaking of which, a couple weeks ago I sent the company some info needed to start a security clearance, only for me to find out today they could not open the document and forgot to tell me about it :negative:


two weeks down the drain

I would say 90% of the interview questions I got for chemistry jobs were all behavioral with the remainder just wanting to know how much experience I have on particular instruments


Not having to answer super technical questions is nice, but like, do y'all want to make sure I'm not a total fraud? Still better than code or die interviews I guess
