Found out recently that I am not receiving an offer following final round interview at Big4. Recruiter I’ve been in contact with has been a great help and told me afterwards that they’d be more than happy to pass my resume over to other team leads looking to staff. Is this a common occurrence or was it a kind, courtesy send-off to our time working through the hiring process together?

Has anyone started using the CPT code 99072? It’s explanation was to “help practices offsite the cost of cleaning supplies, PPE, screenings, additional staff hours, etc associated with the covid-19 pandemic.
The code is intended to deflect these additional covid-19 costs to the payers.”
I’m on OP ortho PT, we are applying this code to every visit for every patient. We were told it’s $25. We were also told that the patients were not notified of this additional charge. Thoughts?

When I interviewed, I literally said “EY is the place I want to retire at” (and I genuinely meant it). When I was staff, I thought I would quit after I make SM for a few years. Now as a Senior 3 everyday - “I hate my job. I won’t get promoted to Manager next year. I hate my life. When can I quit??”

Currently working as a Senior Associate in Corporate Finance for a publishing company. Interviewing for start-ups to join the FP&A team leveraging my current FP&A skills. Made it to final rounds of two well known NYC start up companies.

I am currently an HR Generalist who has come into a non-profit to build their HR processes. We have around 30 staff members.

I have concerns about informal interviews and lack of scoring, etc. Anyone else approach this?

Interviewing with a company and agreed upon a salary with the recruiter. Now the recruiter is saying the company will agree upon the salary, but pay me reduced for a set-agreed time, which would likely bring me under 100k. This company also recently cut 20% of its staff. Any advice to navigate through this? It’s an employer market and they are spoiled for choice.
