Depends on what you're doing now and what you will be doing. For me I said I wanted to do different work. But if it's just jumping firms and the same position idk

Basically just dont sound like you're a liability. Sound like you'll be there forever

Meant to say "truth" in my post. Sorry for the typo

It depends on what service line your in and where your moving to like others have said. However, I'm in Risk and I told them a lot of my work seems transactional and it makes it challenging to build and develop relationships with the executive level because we're constantly in and out. I told them I like my work but wanted to transition to a smaller more intimate team where I can develop, build and maintain relationships ect..And of course work life balance. Something along those lines and they bought it.

You're looking for a team. A consistent one.

Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

Next week I’m having my first lateral interview as a junior associate. I’m very nervous because the group with whom I’m interviewing works with life science/tech clients and the attorneys have strong science/tech backgrounds; and I do not.

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
