About two years. Applied for well over 100, but only got calls back from 8. Of those, had offers from 4, but there were things about each of them that involved some level of compromise. So I picked what works best for my work life balance and family (WFH option).

6 months. 4 months of interviews. 8 rounds. I take offers literally and ask questions so I know exactly what an offer actually is (minus statistical chance aka rsus/options).

2 years, 100+, yes.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

I’m a business/commercial lawyer with 8 years experience looking to relocate to Chicago from NYC area, while also trying to make the jump to in-house after only ever working at a boutique firm. It’s been 5 months and I haven’t had any luck applying to job postings on the usual sites (no calls, no interviews, nothing). I can’t tell if this is due to covid, the market, the fact that I don’t have any in-house experience, the fact that I live out of state, or something else entirely. Any insights??
