We're in the middle of a hiring freeze and have been for awhile... not even sure why they interviewed you tbh

Is this an indirect way of rejecting me? If not then why does D schedule interview while the hiring is “on hold”? Seems like a waste of time for both the interviewers and candidates.

It means they will likely give you an offer as soon as something sells and there is a need. There is a freeze for bench hiring, but we will still hire for project needs. It would be too late if we wait to interview until after a project is sold.

When they hire you to the firm but not into a specific project, so when you join you still have to network into a project.

I did what I thought was an informal info chat with a team about an opening. The team lead( Sr. Dir) called my VP who ended up calling me wondering what was happening.

The positives are, I’m actually getting interviews- about 5 so far, I get to the later/last rounds but can’t seem to close the deal. I’ve tried learning from each experience, and taking that as growth for the next interview but it hasn’t worked.
I have 7yrs total sales exp.

My question is, is there an advantage of doing a Masters to improve my chances of getting into a leadership role? If so, would an MBA be better than a Masters in PR/Comms?

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?
