At what point do you draw the line and withdraw your application from a process that demands a massive take-home project? I was asked to complete a take-home case study involving a full 3-year financial model and variance analysis for a Senior Analyst interview. I have five years of experience and my technical competency shouldn't require twelve hours of unpaid homework.

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now.

So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.
