what was the most impressive question a candidate has asked during an interview?

I am a Product Owner with 4+ YOE. I have been in my current role for 4 months and have continuously found that this role and company are not the right fit for me. Looking back on everything they said during the interview process it turns out that the culture, product and role are not aligning with anything we discussed. They have added on responsibilities and I have continuously expressed to my direct manager how I feel.

I've got an offer from Oracle Financial Services Software (OFSS). They are offering 20 LPA fixed.
Currently CTC = 14 LPA (Fixed + Variable)

Should I make the move or wait for a year to bag a better offer (maybe 25+)?
The HR said I'm getting 20 cause of less YOE

Also, what's the WLB and work in OFSS?

Employee perks/discounts at RSM?

I am getting a little impatient with a recruiter who feels like she has been ghosting me. I need to make another decision with a company by tomorrow but have not heard back from this other company since I’ve interviewed last Monday. I updated her on my timeline and she hasn’t emailed me back. I have her number from when she initially called me. Would it be bad to just give her a call?

Do any of your companies offer coworking benefits? For instance if you’re fully remote, do they offer a monthly stipend to be used at coworking locations near you? Or anything similar in nature?

Why is the RSM bowl so dead compared to GTs? I'm about to join from GT and wondering if things are really that fine and dandy here?

Employee perks/discounts at RSM?

Need help evaluating. Current salary: 205k, bonus is 40k, Senior Manager. Offer: $225k, 40k sign on, 40k RSUs, Senior Manager. Market is red hot right now and the incoming offer doesn’t seem compelling enough to jump. Am I mistaken? Opinions welcome. Tia!

This is a very depressing bowl, I have kids and think public accounting is awesome due to the flexibility!

Welp. Had an interview scheduled for this morning for 30 mins. I join the webex & nothing. I email the recruiter after 15 mins and get a response saying the interviewer had something come up and would like to reschedule. Is it dramatic of me to be bothered by the fact they didn’t even apologize? Meanwhile, I have another interview for a different company Monday & the recruiter reached out today asking if I had any questions or do a zoom test run.

Wondering how people usually respond on the amount needed to make you consider a job at x company? Do you usually answer low or high of your true amount?
