Applying for a controller position. The CFO is going to be my direct report. Should I address my cover letter to the CFO? Or some ambiguous general term like "hiring manager"?

Well, if it's a more than one person interviewing/evaluating your candidacy, you should probably do hiring manager. If just the cfo, then use that

I'd address it to the CFO by name if I were you. It won't stop HR from reading it, but will stick with the person who will ultimately decide

If the CFO is going to be your direct report, then s/he is not the ultimate decision maker. Some higher is.

We are looking to hire a FTE for systems integration. We are using Mulesoft as an IPAAS. I’m part of the hiring team. The pay is 6 figures it is fully remote, the benefits are insanely good and it can be your second job if you are very good. If you are great, it’s probably 15-20 hours of work per weeks. If you are good enough, I will even cover for you to coordinate with your primary job. DM me if you are interested as I’m tired of the crappy recruiting company we are contracted with.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
