Ethics question: my mom is a director at a large biopharmaceutical company. For open positions, there is contact info that is provided (hiring manager).

Not sure what her company policy is but would it be frowned upon for me to ask her to give me the contact info so I can send an email directly to that person about my interest in that position (on top of formally applying after being referred)? Don’t want to put my mom in a precarious spot but at the same time I really want this job.

I’m currently interviewing for a promotion for an executive director role in NYC that I think I have a pretty good chance of getting (assuming the comp discussions go in my favor.) The office is located in Midtown East. My wife and I don’t have any children yet and I am unwilling to live in a 500 ft apt so I’m looking outside the city. I need some suggestions on where to live with keeping my commute under an hour.

EY Parthenon contacted me about a Director role. Interviews went well. Recruiter is working on an “approval for an offer that may take a week or two”. Seems like they’re stalling or may be putting me on the back burner. I asked them to expedite as I have another offer. Anyone have a similar experience? If they’re interviewing I’d assume they already have approval to make an offer.... makes me wonder if I should go elsewhere....

I interviewed for a finance director position this week with just the CFO. It went really well. They asked how I viewed the fact that I'm 32 and the controller is 30, to which I didn't ask a "good" answer because to me age doesn't matter; I had older people on my teams and it was never an issue. I suspect that the topic might pop up again during the 2nd interview with HR. How do I approach it? TYIA
