My Job Offer Got Cut in Half, Interviews Are a Humiliation Ritual & The Right to Reneg | HYUP S2E2
We’re back (and separated??) on today’s episode of the Hot Young Urban Professionals Podcast. Jason moved out, so we’re coming to you from Zoom for the official recruiting episode. We go all the way back to our first ever jobs (RIP to the Chipotle application) and our MIT freshman era of asking “who is Jane and why is her street on everyone’s shirt?” We relive our worst technical interviews, which are basically a humiliation ritual, plus the coding challenge that cost Jason a night out AND an offer. Nina finally tells all about the recruiter who got her hired into an MBA-level role (she is not an MBA) and then watched her get demoted with her salary cut in half before day one. We debate whether reneging is ever okay (spoiler: it’s America, we have the freedom to renege) and share every interview tip we’ve got. This is officially the recruiting bible AND the recruiting burn book.

Why We Left YouTube, Forgiving a Cheater & Sydney Sweeney's Needs to be Stopped
We're back after two week hiatus on the Hot Young Urban Professionals Podcast by Nina and Jason. We share our recent updates and where we've been on our summer vacations (Mexico and France). We talk about the crazy shiz that happened on our trips and divulge the conflicts we were facing. We address Sydney Sweeney (again unfortunately) about her distasteful ad. Finally, we talk about Stella Lefty, being with a cheater, growing up, becoming mature, and social circles on HYUP Helpline.
