I always ask for the 30/60/90 day outlook (goals, expectations) for the role, how work/life is balanced and how balance is encouraged, and in general, how much of my time can I expect in meetings.

All great questions!

How will you measure success for this position? What are some KPIs you’ll be looking into?

Is the immediate environment I would be potentially working in a quiet area where focus on tasks, or are people conversational/ social?

I ask this because I'm more of a quiet, nose-to-the-grindstone type of employee, and I value quiet. If I know that the setting is filled with chatter/ frequent activity/ subject to multiple distractions, then I know that I don't want to work there, and I can save everyone some time.

I'd have to believe it would be Zoom meetings, or Google Duo meetings, or the like. I work from home right now, and right now, it's been more of a we'll-meet-online- only-when- necessary basis. I genuinely love it. But the paycheck leaves a lot to be desired.

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?
