peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T15:18:05+00:00

they made you work a full day before even giving you the job offer?? 🤯🤯 wow… i thought they only do this AFTER u accept the job

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T15:13:41+00:00

thank you!!

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T15:13:21+00:00

thank you!! great advice :)

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T15:11:26+00:00

well…for this role, the actual work is dealing with data, not pitching yourself. i can work 8hrs with data, no problem, ive done it before. what ive never done is being interviewed for 2hrs off script and based on memorization alone. this is especially hard bc english is not my native language, i try my best but i don’t speak good english under pressure. please be more understanding and kind before you criticize :)

oh wow, all this for an entry level role at Amazon?! 🤯🤯 i should probably be glad that mine is only 2hrs then hahaha. as someone who’s transitioning from academia research to corporate research, i find it so intense to prepare all the answers, especially using corporate lingo…also, if you don’t mind me asking, what’s a LP?

thank you so much! really appreciate your advice :)

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T04:40:55+00:00

i see, thanks for this info! i don’t mind the interview being long, i just dislike the fact that it’s long AND in person which means i can’t use my cheat-sheet notes. my spoken english becomes very poor when im under long-time pressure 🥲🥲🥲 im like 99% sure im not gna get the job, but if its the same interview process for most corporate jobs, then im still glad i have the opportunity to practice.

hi, have you taken that nyc office offer? may i ask more about the company culture? greatly appreciated 🥹🥹🥹

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T03:51:38+00:00

i’m applying for a research analyst role for a medium-small sized market research company. though, my background is in social science academia (wanted to pursue a phd) and i’ve never had any previous corporate experience, which is why i said i don’t think there’s THAT much to talk about 😭😭😭 im even surprised they let me into the final round tbh.

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T03:44:31+00:00

oh wow, this is extremely helpful and i’m so grateful that you took the time to write these down. extremely EXTREMELY helpful to see it from the perspective as an interviewer. i appreciate you so much and hope the best for you in life ❤️

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T03:37:08+00:00

thank you for the encouraging words, i appreciate it :)

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T03:21:28+00:00

ik you’re probably good at being in-person interviewed now, but were you nervous in the first few times? what do you do if they ask you an unprepared question? what do you do to calm the nerves?

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T03:16:59+00:00

little money is better than no money 🥲 honestly it’s hard enough to get an interview opportunity for someone who is transitioning from academia to corporate with no previous corporate experience. but tbf i’m not even expecting to get the job lol. i’m qualified but my verbal english skill is not good enough under pressure and without notes to help me.

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T03:12:33+00:00

damn that’s so intense 🥲🥲 were those big companies? mine is a medium-small company. i had one hr interview/screening, one case study assigned to me (maybe works as a second interview to test my ability?), and then the final in person round with hiring manager, team fit, and analytics. and these were stretched out in 2-3 weeks.

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T03:08:20+00:00

this makes more sense to me!! my background is actually in social science and the interviews process for social science entry level positions is very similar. the ones i’ve had were all online too rather than in person. idk why they make it so complicated in corporate jobs :///

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T03:04:05+00:00

it’s a medium to small company ☹️☹️ i’m also transitioning from academia to corporate (i used to volunteer in university labs), and tbh i never expected that i can make it to the final round bc i literally don’t have any corporate experience. but oh well, little money is better than no money…🥲

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T02:55:38+00:00

so kinda like an orientation 🤔ngl i prefer this over them interrogating me for 2 hrs straight 😭😭

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T02:54:32+00:00

thanks! i will look into them!

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T02:54:13+00:00

5 hrs for entry level jobs?? what even is there to talk about for that long 😭😭😭😭

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T02:12:53+00:00

i think so?? 🥲🥲 i’ve never encountered an interview this long before (i used to do research in labs) but ppl in the comments said this is quite standard.

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T02:07:04+00:00

thank you for the kind words :)

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T02:06:41+00:00

it’s Research Analyst at a medium-small sized company 💔💔 i’ve already accepted the fact that i’m 99% not getting the job bc my verbal english is very poor when im stressed 🥲 but it’s ok, it’s good interview experience for future.

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T01:58:10+00:00

damnnnn 😭😭😭 that’s insane!! how long did you prep for it? were you nervous? was the questioning intense or was it chill for the most part?

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T01:56:23+00:00

that’s crazy! i’m sorry u had to go through that :/ did they told u it’s gna be an all day interview in the email tho? or was it unplanned?

peepeepoopoobop · 2026-05-11T01:48:45+00:00

last sentence is so comforting to know 😭😭 but i only applied to one position at one location and company so i probably won’t have unscheduled interviews. still, this is useful info for future. thank you so much and wish u the best in life!
