Oh the headline is more click bait…the meat of the interview was intel and the fed government dollars

Howdy,

Got an interview request to do cyber controls/risk work with a "crypto leader." Recruiter is being coy about which firm but I figured I'd post here for thoughts.

Anyone here have info on how the gov/risk/compliance departments are here? Would you recommend leaving a similar job at an established top 10 bank for a riskier job in this space for an 80k pay bump plus equity?

I did see there was a 20% layoff in "crypto winter" 2023 but my current company had a bigger layoff in recent years so not sure how worried I should.

I don’t even know how many applications I’ve sent out so far, and all I’m getting is crickets.

Pass the screen, go for the round of interviews, how long before you hear something? Same Day? Couple days? Week? Do rejections come immediately while silence means a possible offer? Or is it the opposite, if they are interested you get an offer right away, and silence just means they aren't interested? What's the norm these days on the interview circuit?

After months and months of applying. That's the only thing making Monday and the rest of the week feel bearable. I've been so unhappy here that I've even considered quitting without something else lined up. Now I'm putting all my hopes into landing one of these two jobs. I'm even willing to take lower pay just to get out of here.

Never give these 3 'sudden deaths' answers at a job interview, says CEO—'you've instantly disqualified yourself'. #3 is very interesting, see the link below:

Hello,
I recently started at Wells Fargo working at a local branch in Florida, but have come to realize why the position was offered to me so quickly after one interview. I have a narcissistic female manager who doesn’t realize she is the problem and reason why everyone keeps quitting this location. I didn’t notice this at first, she hides it well but now that I’ve caught on I am already in the process of interviewing on all of my off days once again. This woman is off her rocker and barely speaks English fluently. Wells Fargo hires complete trash.

I will keep you posted.

Will Elevance ever go above the given salary range in a pre screen interview call?
