Do you review candidates' social media accounts at any point during the interview process? Should I be keeping my socials updated and more professional?

A quick glance at your LinkedIn profile or other professional platforms is pretty standard practice these days so yeah. Keeping your socials updated and professional can definitely work in your favor. Your LinkedIn profile in particular is like your digital resume, so having it polished and up to date is always a good idea.

TIA Goldman Sachs PS: I promise a dinner in a dance place in NY after I get hired as a sign of my gratitude 🙈

Hi guys currently I'm working in a project with very stringent timelines. Sometimes we need to put more than 13-14 hrs each day. There are 4 members in my team.

And even if I try to talk to him for something he is completely rude. Sometimes it makes me that I m completely useless. Even the other team members are following the lead

If I’m at 150k now as an account director, making a lateral move, what’s the most I could ask for?

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.

Thoughts on the pivot & how valuable a short-stint at Meta is for future job hunt?
