Has anyone ever considered a switch internally to HR/talent? I want to stay in advertising, want more balance and whatnot but also have found I enjoy interviewing and placing people. Thoughts?

If that's what you enjoy, do it. 72 has a good track record of letting people move where they fit best. Just be persistent, worked for me :)

I've seen both account directors and project managers make the shift. Some after having kids, some were just made for it. All never looked happier to me. From the other side, I always respect HR and recruiters who have done hard agency time in another role. They have broader perspective and grill you a bit harder.

The recruiter at my last agency started as an AD. Talent manager did too. They both said they were much happier in that role than they were on the front lines.

Go for it, but know that once you make the switch, it may be harder to go back.

I interviewed at Google and cleared all onsite interviews back in July. Then came the hiring freeze and my role was de-prioritized. Now I'm being called for another position which I applied through the same recruiter before for the same group but different role. My question is will Google reuse the positive feedback and will it help/add value to this new position?

I don’t think people understand what the difference between conservative and liberal judicial philosophies are. Liberal judges see the Constitution as guidelines for the court to interpret and then cement things into law that they deem reflect the current mood of the day, essentially serving as a tool for policymaking outside of the legislative branch. Conservative judges see their role as interpreting what is explicitly in the Constitution and that there are explicit constraints in it (cont’d)
