How do you plan logistics if you have an in person interview on Friday and are traveling for client work that week?

Ex: fly home Thurs night (firm pays), fly out Fri morning (interviewer pays)

I just fly straight to interview city, and pick one of the two to pay

Agree with C1. Fly direct on Thursday to interview city and have that company pay for flight.

I actually agree with D1: taking in lieu is a great way to hide the fact that you're interviewing. Do it either at the interview city or a third location, but either way don't give your firm any reason to see something unusual in your travel.

D1 that’s what I was originally thinking but as P1 said, wouldn’t that raise a flag as an unusual travel pattern?
Since Thurs would be client city to 3rd city, but Mon would be home city to client city?

Nah, I don’t think so. Maybe you had to be home for something on Sunday

I interviewed for Data Analyst role at EY, it went well and the job sounds great, but I'm a bit hesitant to leave PwC because I really like the firm and I'm just 8 months in my job as an associate at a subgroup of ITS that has some focus on technology and analytics but it's mostly tax compliance.

I do want to transition to data analytics but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to another big 4, or maybe just look for a position in industry.

Any advice or similar experience?

Recently I got invited to an interview with a decent growing company. I work in Executive Search and I am thinking of switching to in-house recruiting. During the conversation the recruiter made some weird assumptions about my current job. The interview took longer than expected and I feel like I have not delivered well. Was I wrong to expect in-house recruiter to understand the differences and similarities between in-house-recruiting, professional search and retained executive search?
