Once I interviewed with a well known agency in SF. They cancelled the second interview citing timing issues. A week later, I saw the recruiter post the same job on LinkedIn. I passive aggressively liked the post

Oh that’s awful... I’m en route to present a 6-month action plan as part of the interview process, after 4 rounds and have to meet more people after the presentation. This industry has lost its decency.

Ugh, that is aggravating. I went through this several times. The last time it actually worked out - there was a hiring freeze company wide but once it was lifted my role was prioritized and I was hired. Definitely the exception, though.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position.

I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?
