Just because you like someone doesn't necessarily mean they would be a good fit for the company. I have mistakenly pushed someone through who then flaked out later bc they weren't a true company fit.

Sample interview question you may want to use to catch the applicant off balance and see how they think: What is the diff between brown eggs and white eggs and why are brown more expensive?

I don't ask those ridiculous riddles. Such a waste of time. You can tell if someone genuinely wants to work for your firm if you ask them why they want specifically the position they're interviewing 4

Any advice on getting your foot in the door in the Big 4 companies or the like, ie: PwC, Deloitte, etc. I feel like I have the perfect experience for some of these posted roles but the online application process is a black hole. I’ve seen my resume ‘in review’ for 6+ months or more. Do people only get interviewed for these roles through networking?

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
