        I applied online. The process took 1 week.I interviewed at MassMutual (Freehold, NJ) in 01/03/2023

        Interview

        They treated it as a sales pitch on why I should work for them which I wouldn't have minded however it was entirely based on I should work for them because of how much money I would make and the perks I would get if I get a lot of sales. They did not even mention that our goal is to also help the customer that we are working with. They also wanted to know the net worth of the people I know which was an immediate red flag because I'm not sure if they did research on me or not but I have connections to relatively wealthy individuals, families, and companies through friends and family and I am not going to give them all that information right out of the gate. They also mentioned how it is entirely commission based which I hate because it shows that they have no faith in their new hires and only want to take what the new hires bring.

        Question 1

        Is it okay this is entirely commission based?

                      My daughter completed 2 rounds of interviews for internship at cultural center in DC . How long do they take to respond back ? It has been week and half. Should she send them an email asking status ?

                      So I think the consensus is to NOT reach out after an interview? I’m interviewing with a University and they said they were going to fill the position by May. I checked Workday and my application is still active so do I just continue to wait? They did say I would hear either way. My first interview was last Thursday.

                      Hi all, I applied for a job at abrdn plc, I've had my first interview and it went well. They have invited me for a second interview for which is a technical assessment. The assessment will be sent to me during the interview and it will last 60min. If anyone on here has had something similar, what kind of assessment would it be? Is it like creating macros or something of that sort? Thanks
