For those of you working downtown, do you actually enjoy the office vibe here? I’m hybrid and trying to decide if it’s worth commuting in more often. The energy can be nice, but between the crowds and the price of lunch, I’m torn. What makes it worth it for you?

I live downtown and I hate commuting to the office lol. It largely depends on the agency and the culture and having people you genuinely enjoy spending time with at work.

HR is scheduling the interviews without checking time with me. One interview was scheduled and then it was rescheduled to a different time at last minute.

Started a new job 7 months ago. There’s been a hiring freeze and it seems they canned the recruitment team. Things seems to be slowing down drastically in the span of a week. Getting the resume all spiffed up and getting interviews together. When do you make the exit? “When you find a job” I know, but…

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?
