My nerves got the best of me.

I’ve been interviewing to land an entry-level agency role for a few months now & have had dozens of interviews w/o issues.

I was interviewing for a role at an agency I’ve interviewed w/ for several teams & finally thought I’d receive an offer.

I interviewed with HR since the hiring manager was OOO, & randomly got nervous & choked up for a sec.

I blew it, & they extended an offer to someone with “strong client facing communication skills.”

Was it my nerves?

Evaluating two exit offers.

One in an industry I want to build my career with a high caliber team (ex MBB) but seems a bit cutthroat and another in a new industry I’m not exactly interested in and supporting team isn’t the strongest (career industry folks) but my direct manager seems to really care about building my career and will lead a team vs more of an IC. Comp is similar and blue chip firms in their industry.

Thoughts on how to weigh these? Bit of a big fish/small pond scenario.

I'm a newly promoted audit manager. I'm happy that I got promoted and I'm happy with my new salary/bonus etc. But my concern is that due to the heavy turnover in my firm, I'm stuck on the senior role on some jobs. It's a little frustrating since I know I could take on the manager role for these jobs but staffing is an issue. It's definitely bothering me a little even though I understand why. For those in this situation or have been in this situation, how have you dealt with it?
