Hi Chill HR,
One of my friends was seriously looking for a job, and one day he went for an interview. Unfortunately, a car hit his bike from the backside, causing him to fall down and sustain minor injuries. An argument ensued with the person in the car, leading to a fight. However, public interference resolved the situation, and both parties went their separate ways. As a result of the incident, his interview with that company was rescheduled for another day.
Despite the setback, he arrived for the rescheduled interview with hope and successfully cleared the first two rounds. The third round, conducted by the Head of HR and the Operations Manager, presented an unexpected challenge as the Operations Manager turned out to be the same individual he had the altercation with earlier. Despite this awkward situation, he managed to face the round with confidence.
To add to his surprise, he received the news of being selected for the position and even received an offer letter after a brief wait. However, he now faces a dilemma of whether to accept the job offer as the same individual from the car incident will be his boss.
Please provide your advice on how he should proceed in this situation.
Best regards,

Dear,
According to my opinion, he can join because he is selected based on his capability. The second situation, in which he met with an accident with a car, and the person involved is his boss, is unimaginable. Don't base your career decisions on such unimaginable acts. I hope you understand and can guide your friend.

Dear,
What happens outside his professional life is their personal matter, whether they fight or do whatever they want. The most important part of this whole matter is that the same guy selected him for the job, whatever that means - whether he saw some capability in him or selected him to take revenge. The bottom line is that your friend desperately needs the job, so he must join. He has the capability, that's why he was selected, and he can prove himself under any condition.
All the best...

There is no harm in joining that company if he is selected, as one should never combine personal life with professional life. I don't think there is any negative thinking in the mind of that "Boss" either, else he can reject him in the final round for any reason. So, don't be afraid of anything and suggest your friend to join the company as soon as possible.

Hello,
In my opinion, this is the best place to work. Why? Because his selection by the operation manager proves him to be a stable-headed and genuine boss. As a manager, he has the quality to keep personal and professional things separate. Such a boss would never be a hurdle in the career of a team member, no matter what comes.
We often have disagreements with our near and dear ones, but we tend to forget them in time. So why should a small conflict with a stranger influence one's career decision? If your friend is satisfied with other aspects of the offer such as the package, profile, and the company, he should choose it without hesitation. A small apology while accepting the offer can resolve any misunderstandings.
Thank you.

Dear all,
What I presume is that he should try to avoid this offer if he already has a job and can manage with his current one. Taking a risk is worthwhile if it brings benefits, but at times it may have a negative impact in this case.

I am in strong disagreement with Mr. Dev. According to my opinion, he can join because he is selected based on his capability. He was chosen by a panel, not by an individual—perhaps the incident was undisclosed.
In the second situation, the fact that he had an accident with a car involving his boss is unimaginable. The person is heading the operations, so it is confirmed that he will report to him only.
Don't base your career decisions on unimaginable acts; I hope you understand and can guide your friend. It's a career decision, not a joke. He will be the only one to suffer if he leaves his current job, and the new organization may react negatively after he joins.

Hi,
It is a good plot for a Bollywood movie, isn't it? Just kidding... nevertheless, I understand for your friend it is a crucial and critical decision. I opine he should proceed and accept this offer. He was selected because the entire recruitment process was conducted in a professional manner, wherein your friend scored based on his knowledge. Ideally, if the person (who obviously holds a senior position in the company) wanted, he could have influenced the decision-making and steered the decision as revenge. But just like all mature professionals do, he selected your friend based on his interview performance.
Please rest your fears and those of your friend, and encourage him to join this company if all other factors (salary, benefits, career growth, company) suit him fine.

I agree with Hiral, Dev and other...
I also don’t think there is anything wrong because if it was, or like your friend is worried about, he would have not been selected and offered a job but he got it which implies the guy who is not just a Head of the department but a good professional and not allowed the other things come at work. And that is really appreciating I would say and like Hiral Said "this is the best place to work" me believe too.
"He must join them"
Your query also saying that he (your friend) was too confident while his interview and cleared two rounds, and was hoping to get chance to work with them, I would suggest you to ask your friend to join them immediately and forget the past. We understand the concern but he also need to be care that he is skilled, experience and have qualification that meets the employer requirement and he got a fair chance to work with.
Second, can you please your friend and let us know about has he noticed anything like he was being criticized or facing any difficulties while his interview with Head HR & Manager Operation. Has he experience any frustration by this his head that made him worried or it is just a concern because of that accident.
Third, why don he take this as a positive thing and perhaps he has impressed his Boss with his qualification and experience and got a fair chances…. Think about it and also let this realize to your friend.
