I am in the process of interviewing with multiple firms. I can’t stand where I am now for even just one more minute. Would you suggest if I go ahead and give notice as soon as I get my first offer from another firm?

Lol no. Never give notice before conflicts clears.

Do you have a recruiter?

Absolutely not! You have to wait for conflicts and your background check to clear—essentially anything in your offer letter that the job is conditioned on needs to be satisfied before you quit.

like

Yes. I’d give notice now since you’re already interviewing. Better to have those extra few days. Nothing can go wrong.

Just think about this for one second. You could end up with zero offers. Now what?

Still not a good idea. Background check or conflicts could take a while. Detach yourself mentally from the job for a week or two if you need to but not a good idea to quit until all is buttoned up.

Let's take a breath and think about this. Why can't you stand your firm? Yall need mentors to talk things through with. Quitting for the first job offer that comes along (unless you're on a PIP) is never a good idea.

I saw this and thought I'd share. What do you say? “Diversity hiring does not mean a lower bar for diverse candidates. They still need to interview and pass the hiring bar. Therefore, diversity hiring is not unfair to other non-diverse applicants."

I’ve made it to the 3rd round interviewing at three different firms over the past month, and the feedback I’m getting has all been very similar: they think I’m really great, but it’s not the right time. Why spend 4-6 hours interviewing me just to say there isn’t actually a current role for me? Should I be reading between the lines (if so what does it mean?) or pressing harder for more detailed feedback?

Should I quit to my current manager(5th so far) or wait after mid year performance review, when a new boss will take over my team? I'm thinking on giving them 2 months notice period. By contract is 1.

Thanks

What is your typical total time “working” vs. time billed? I think I must be doing something wrong, because I’m having 12 hour days but only billing 7-8 hours/day. I can’t block bill so I lose a lot of time switching between tasks and reading random emails and don’t want to put down a million .1s for reading emails, but still seems weird to be losing so much time. I’ll take quick breaks throughout the day but nothing I’d expect to total more than hour. At a loss here.
