Does cross border experience actually matter for in-house roles? Just see a in-house job posting asking for “international” or “global” experience, but in practice, I’m not always sure how much weight it really carries. Sometimes it feels like a buzzword, especially when the role is still very region-focused day to day. does international experience more of a nice-to-have than a differentiator?

def not for Ice

Depends on the firm, but overall, I’d say it’s more of a buzzword. I’ll see a lot of asks in the job post that rarely make sense with the firm or the role itself.

I think it can matter. Experience dealing with different cultures and time zones, and also substantively there are lots of European regulations that are good to be familiar with.

Hi all,

I am an IT professional having almost 5 years of experience and want to move to Canada for PR. My CRS score is not upto the cut off. I need someone who can help in earning connections points for Manitoba PNP program.

As it allows having an acquaintance or a friend to earn those 20 points, it can help my PR application.

Anyone who is PR and resident of Manitoba can dm me to discuss around it. I am ready to pay for this assistance as well.

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate.

Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
