I am currently in insurance coverage litigation defense side. Next year I’ll be a 6th year making $190k with an 1800 billable hour requirement. I like my office and my firm generally but there’s an opportunity to go to a policyholder side firm for nearly double the pay. I’d be going strictly for the pay. By switching to policyholder side I’m concerned I may be burning bridges at my current firm by going to the “enemy.” Has anyone made that defense-to-policyholder transition?

Hi all,

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Hey guys I have been in sales for a while now 2 years in real estate and about 5 months in insurance. How do I get started in tech sales?

Started a new job 7 months ago. There’s been a hiring freeze and it seems they canned the recruitment team. Things seems to be slowing down drastically in the span of a week. Getting the resume all spiffed up and getting interviews together. When do you make the exit? “When you find a job” I know, but…

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?

Hi All,

I submitted my resume in Accenture portal 3 months back and now I got shortlisted for interview.

My yoe is 3.6, but the interview is scheduled role "Application lead project". Is this normal?

Are there any chances they might reject me as the interview is for lead role while my YOE fall in senior analyst / analyst role.

Thanks,

We tried paid ads and it’s expensive so we want to acquire users through content marketing. It’s a product that helps people discover gift ideas - and it’s a web app.
