IAmANoob110's journey

I’m excited to share that I finally landed a job at AbbVie last week Friday, the same day I completed my interview with them! They were particularly impressed with my work, especially my use of Power BI, which I had never used before. It's funny because I was also in the running for another position at a company I’ll refer to as Company X. For Company X, I had to complete a data task where I created a story from some messy data they provided and delivered a visualization with insights and data quality issues I found. After submitting my assignment, I didn’t hear back for about 1-2 weeks. Meanwhile, I completely forgot how I applied to AbbVie since I had been applying to so many places. When I finally had my interview with AbbVie last Friday, it went really well. I showcased the project I did for Company X, and they were impressed. They mentioned I would hear back within the week. Later that day, I received a voicemail from AbbVie, and to my surprise, they offered me the job! I was ecstatic and immediately started reviewing the contract they sent over. I wanted to take my time reading it and was also waiting to hear back from Company X, who had said they would get back to me on Monday. However, Monday came and went with no word from them. I decided to sign the contract with AbbVie on Wednesday after a couple of follow-up calls from them checking in. I did send a respectful follow-up to Company X, expressing my continued interest, but I didn't hear back from them. Just as I was about to complete my first week at AbbVie, I received an email from Company X inviting me to a final round interview. I was a bit surprised since I thought the previous interview was the last one. I replied saying I was available on Friday, but I never received an invitation for that interview. Overall, I'm really happy with AbbVie and their responsiveness. Company X, on the other hand, has been incredibly slow, which made my decision easier. I’m no longer jobless, and for anyone still searching, keep applying and stay positive! You’ll find something eventually!
