How many of you would genuinely say you're good at interviews? I'm horrible. I just freeze.

Try rubbing one out right before the interview. Works wonders.

I *suck* at interviews. Major foot-in-mouth syndrome.

I'm really good at interviewing. Having the experience and know how is another thing..

Try thinking of it more as a mutual conversation among friends, rather than people judging you. Being genuine goes a long way as well.

I'm also pretty solid at interviewing- it's about starting and controlling the conversation.

I'm ok after some warm up interviews

In all seriousness, I find that taking a dump in the bathroom of the office I'm interviewing in works wonders. It really relaxes the nerves.

I had a great coffee chat, during which the employee offered to refer me. I sent him my application materials on Friday. How can I know if my referral has been submitted? How soon is too soon to follow up? I’m worried about the posting closing.

Hello! I see a ton of questions in here about interviewing and getting hired as a PM. I also know that it’s really hard as a manager to hire a great team. I’m the head of product at a growing startup, and just hired two PMs in 3 months. One a career switcher who’d never been a PM before, and one a seasoned principal PM. Whether you are someone who’s interviewing or someone who’s hiring right now, ask me anything!

I’m a new associate to a T&E group, partner goes away on vacation and leaves me with a 706 to review and sign. The family is very wealthy. Decedent married for 60 years. Partner says it’s “just a DSUE election, decedent was ill for years, no assets.” Provides no records. Not even an admission the decedent owned a toothbrush. So I looked up the decedent’s home - it’s a joint asset. Partner was “surprised”, and still insists “no other assets”. I found file references to art and antiques.

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
