Ever interviewed with a partner who was distracted and disengaged? Multiple points, I could tell the interviewer was not listening. It’s hard to leave feeling good about it now.

Don’t take it personal just keep applying and looking for roles. Also, tax day was yesterday so maybe just distracted because of that .

It's hard to know what to make of that. It could be the guy was going through some internalized issue. Or it could be they've got a candidate in the wings and interviewing anyone else is just checking a box. Either way it doesn't sound encouraging, so do keep looking.

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off.

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good?

Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?

Hello all. My company just went through an acquisition and the company did some restructuring of job titles. When they did this we were all advised the company would be making sure our jobs pay aligned with the national average.
My issue with this is my job title went from a Technical Support Supervisor to a Customer Success Team Lead. I have voiced my concerns with management but have been advised job titles are semantics. In my eyes this is a demotion, and will affect how much my job is worth.
