Nah. Never. And ive had a few.

“Freelance” always filled in the gaps nicely.

And never bothered to be exact about the dates.

I don’t hold gaps against anyone, but I’ve seen it happen when I’m not the only decision maker on the role.

Life happens. Give people some grace.

Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer.

Would I still have chance to be offered?

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

I lateraled from a small firm to regional big law last year. I was told that my offer was commensurate with class year (5th year).

The difference between my new salary and a first year is now $10k. I think it is fairly obvious that the hiring partner was not truthful with me. How would you address this? Is another lateral move my only option?
