That is exactly what I wanted to say. I am not sure that it is the right place to judge each other. But you asked "Why?" and I expressed my opinion regarding this issue. I don't want to dive deep into these topics. My idea is to check out what is appropriate to say and what is not and follow this pattern even if my own opinion is different. At the end of the day one wrong statement might ruin one's life. So it is sensible to just avoid saying these things even if you think differently.

Inching closer to January 30th, guys. Hope everyone is staying patient!

Could someone share the link to the applicant self-service portal? I had some issues with mine and never received the link - I was able to make an account but do not have the specific link for the site. Posted from my mobile device

So interview invites are out on Jan 30th? My application status is 'Application Complete'! I used Chrome and I had to register 4 times before I could log in to the portal though.
