Got through interview round two. The Technical side was really strange. I didn't have to solve dumbass puzzles they had me go through a fake PR of a feature and just give comments on it. It was kind of strange but much more real world than solving algo bullshit.
I know I did well on that but who knows if I made it to the next round.

Moving through the rounds at the quantum computing company, my friend working there says of the two candidates im the clear standout (her bosses words). Not sure how I'll do in the remaining interviews, but the timing with the promotion is making this difficult.

Yep. Just seeing what they offer really. Potentially using the offer as leverage here.

Worth contacting them about the local datacenter project? I like GamersNexus for their reviews, and their investigative pieces have been entertaining and good from an amateur level. But I have no idea how to judge their journalism from a professional standpoint.
Also, I work in the tech industry. One of my employer's customers is involved with AI, but that seems pretty hard to avoid these days. IDK, might be professionally a bad idea to contact them because my employer would not want to connected with tech activism, one way or another.

So apparently the job opening to get promoted was opened, though not visible to me. Hopefully it goes through quickly.
The other job I'm interviewing for I'm told Is roughly $225k + RSUs, so nothing to sneeze at.

Yes they're public. Only not listing the name because they're pretty small. Not many players in quantum

If I don't get promoted this week I think I'm gonna tell them to find someone else to lead this bullshit. It's super visible in the company and really good for my resume, but I'm being run ragged. I actually deserve to be at the level above this promotion, but I need to get this or I'm done. They've completely burnt me out.

No job is ever going to give you a good work life balance once you get towards the upper levels. You have to put your foot down and take charge of that. Even salaried people are legally owed OT if they are being regularly required to work more than 40hr a week. It's a lot simpler to prevent that by setting expectations up front. Whether that's "Any OT is taken out of next week's schedule" or whatever else works for you. Set it, and stand by it.
Might be hard to get that at current place, because they are used to you jumping when they crack the whip. But if you go to the new place, just state up front that that was one of the major reasons you left, and tell them what you are expecting.
