Any advice on how to explain boomeranging? I honestly just had a better experience at another Big 4 and want to go back. But everyone in my phone interviews so far seems super skeptical of me.

Your convincing needs to be a really good story. Let them know what you genuinely like in comparison to your current firm (more stories) and give them glance of your vision around what you plan on doing once you are back (again in a story form).

Op: what was the other firm? What did you like about it?

Same here OP... HR didn't seem to buy it even though the partners were onboard...

@P2 that's exactly my situation!

@P1 it's the people honestly. I felt more supported at the other firm. It was still super competitive but more team focused.

General corporate in NY looking to lateral into tech transactions at one of the EC/VC firms. I’ve heard that I may get a class cut if I make the move but I’m ok with that. My worry is that EC/VC firms are crazy busy work differently from general corp, I also won’t have control over my hours, and potentially worse based on how billing differs (block billing on a few clients vs having to work with 15 or more startups). Is the same true for tech trans or IP group?

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
