Got a call from a recruiter today for an industry interview tomorrow . I glided across the meeting room floor and walked past the partner, director and my direct reports like the modafuckin man....

Partners - do recruiters/headhunters ever reach out to you? What types of roles/levels do they reach out for?

When you independently search for other opportunities (if you do), what types of roles do you look for?

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??

what do you say is your current position on your resume? i’m a consultant in tech, but i’m not sure if “technology consultant” is useful to employers. should i write what my project role is instead?

Has anyone bought/ done the HRCI Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion in HR Management? I already have my PHR, but I’m looking to gain more knowledge/skills and beef up my resume. Is it worth doing? The course is $239 and you get 12 Recert credits with it.

How much of a paycut should I expect going from Strategy & Analytics Manager to Product Manager? (First PM Job). Almost at the final stage with a startup of about 50 people (Series A). Recruiter said feedback have been positive and I have one last meeting with the head of engineering remaining for overall fit interview tomorrow. I’m preparing just in case there’s an offer at the end of the week. Currently making 180k base if you need more context. Have a semi technical background as well

I am hearing that MBB is pausing majority of the interviews - should I be worried about my offer getting rescinded? I luckily got my offer a few months ago and received my signing bonus already.

What are the chances of Amazon (or FAANG in general) allowing you to apply/interview again for a position that you did not get in the past?

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

For those that left without having your CPA license, can you tell me your interview experience and the role you left for? I’m in tax with 4 years of experience and still working on my exams.
