Boomerangs — did anyone say they were going to “fast track” you back into the firm (you were going back to)? What did that process look like in your experience? How “fast” was it really for you (as opposed to being referred/applying through normal channels)? Days? A week? Weeks? Or still about a month?

Mine was weeks. Had one tough interview then just shot the sh!t with a few partners. Honestly I wish they’d have vetted me harder bc I’m in over my head now

Thank you this is helpful. Mind me asking why the interview was so tough?

Thank you, that’s helpful!

I was a boomerang to get back into BDO. Was gone less than 6 months and went back at similar comp in the same title and practice. They even waved the background check. From the day I emailed the partner to when I started I was back working there in less that 3 weeks, but BDO is a lot smaller than deloitte so I feel like things move quicker.

Hi,

JPMC call candidate with 3 months of np for interview and expected CTC for 3.6 years of experience with techstack as java fullstack?

Looking to exit from 195k base to a sales role base 140 + 40 in guaranteed bonus year 1 to make up for the lengthy sales cycle. I know in the long run total comp through equity and sales commission bonus can be much higher but having a hard time making the jump… mostly my ego to drop drastically in TCO the first year after spending all these years trying to increase base. Still interviewing - unicorn saas account exec. What would you do?

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!
