3 times I have gone through the interview process with big agencies and have gotten positive feedback all the way through to final interviews. Discussed salary and start date etc. only to be told right before offer time that internal team shifts or client scopes shifts mean the position is now on hold. But the team “loved” meeting me and as soon as a suitable position opens they’d love to interview again. Is this something you guys have experienced or am I doing something wrong on my end?

If they went with someone else they would just say that (or nothing). Lying about this would be a lot of unnecessary effort.

It’s happened to me before and it’s possible it’s happening to me right now.

Until you have an offer on hand and have signed you have to keep your foot on the gas and pursue all potential opportunities. The agency is going to do what’s best for them abs you need to keep your bottom line as your first priority.

There might be a friend of a friend who drops into the mix, someone vetos, towards the end, the job gets cut, they have two people they’re parallel pathing… so many reasons.

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?

All 5 words in order?

Not great. Not terrible.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
