Anyone use any services or resources to help prep for interviewing if you haven’t interviewed in a while? Like a mock interview?

Not really any services but I do use ChatGPT. I give it the job listing and ask for example questions and then ask it to analyze my answers. That's been pretty helpful.

i also use chat, i think it is helpful thinking of questions they might ask

I second chatGPT. It helps me refine my answers to common interview questions, and doing mock interviews with it has been a pretty big confidence booster.

Yup! So helpful. I'm not one to run to AI for everything, but for interview prep, there is nothing better IMO.

Most people use free options first: practice with friends in similar roles, record yourself answering common questions (awkward but effective), or browse Glassdoor interview questions for your target companies.
Paid services like Big Interview or Interview Kickstart work if you need structure. Career coaches ($100-300/session) help with executive-level positioning. Honestly, the best prep is just doing more interviews – treat early ones as practice rounds.
The bigger issue: if you haven't interviewed in years, your salary expectations might be outdated too. Research current market rates before negotiations, not after you've already anchored yourself at your old comp level.

I really feel like I should be excused from this "diversity and inclusiveness" training stuff lmao. It's about implicit bias and I'm sorry it's just not believable coming from an old white man's mouth when there are maybe 4 non-white associates. We're having these meetings 3 times this week. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I’m struggling at the moment to gauge how much I should be getting paid in my position as i feel I’m heavily underpaid for the work I do, which includes managing digital marketing operations across 12+ countries, manage the studio/creatives plus lead on any campaigns and strategies, etc. I’m also remote UK-based although my company is international. So what do you feel a fair UK wage would be for the role? I love my job/team but the stress isn’t worth it for me atm. Thanks in advance!
