I used to be an audit/finance professional for PWC and moved into tech sales. Best decision of my life. Doubled my income in a year. No more timesheet. True work flexibility. Better hours. Better benefits.

I say do it.

What questions do you have?

Slightly more serious than some of the ones here. In college, I was a huge party-goer/ alcohol/ drugs/ sleeping around etc etc. One night I went too far and did something I will forever regret. It was and has been the stupidest, darkest thing I have ever done, and my friends at the time rightfully had had enough and stopped talking to me to support the victim. I felt so guilty and did my best to apologise, but there's little I could do.

(Cont. In a comment).

I just accepted a job offer with a new company, they still have to do my background check which will take 1-2 weeks. But I am also now currently interviewing with my dream company in a completely different industry. If I receive an offer from the dream company, how do I go about telling the company who’s offer I just accepted that I don’t want it?

When is it time to give up on a job offer coming in and move on? Internal recruiter has been in constant contact with me and extremely positive, but the final decision seems to keep getting pushed off because they can’t get all the decision makers together to decide - 3 weeks now. Feels like I’m being strung along or maybe their second choice. I wasn’t looking to leave my current role, but this is an awesome opportunity. It’s starting to distract me in my current job though and can’t let it go.
