Hi all, does anyone have any experience getting a loan with a deposit of less than 10%? (5%? 2%?). Does having a CPA membership give you any perks with applying for a loan or help with getting a low deposit home loan?

I've applied to work at Facebook three times but I can't make it past the initial interview with HR each time. What am I doing wrong?

Asian M....currently applying to med school. it’s truly shitty going into this process feeling like you’re at a disadvantage and need to “compensate” for your demographic. it’s given me so much anxiety leading up to this point

Interviewing and if an office doesn’t have standing desks by now, I can’t do it. Is that too bougee? Are there many big law firms that still don’t have this?

I’m currently actively interviewing. I had a second round with my top company on Monday and it felt good and I haven’t heard back. I emailed the recruiter on Monday and followed up today but haven’t heard back. There’s apparently another round. I’m expecting an offer tomorrow from another company, and gave a final round with another company on Friday. I really want the top company but I’m concerned with the lack of communication. Is there anything else I can do? Should I let this go?

I’m a POC & I hate to admit it, but - at the start of my search for executive roles, I was “reverse interviewed”.

In other words, I was likely invited into the process only to check some sort of box, because the recruiter seemed to know that they weren’t going to hire me.

I had not encountered this in such a blatant & personalized way earlier in my career journey, so I was wholly unprepared.

It startled me. I felt gross & ashamed about it each time it happened.

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?

Being offered lower title and lower salary than what I’m making...what are the chances I could negotiate to the original title I interviewed for?

Interviewed at Workday and got an offer: OTE $205 with a 70/30 base/commission split. With $40K RSUs. Thoughts? This is for a senior presales consultant, I come from 8 years of industry experience and 1.5 of presales experience.

Any good recommendations for books on debt finance?

I had to decline a first round interview after resume submission with another Big 4 because I wanted to talk with my current employer first + had some relocation issues/decisions to deal with. Depending on how the conversation with my current firm goes, I would like to move on. How long would i have to wait to submit resume to the same team/company, and would they even reconsider me? Max I can wait is prob about 6-7months..
