I got invited to schedule an interview for a position that I applied for a few weeks ago. At the time, I thought it sounded like a good idea but now I'm uneasy about taking the position. Should I interview anyway? Or would it just be a waste of time?

That depends on what makes you uneasy about the job. If it's something serious, and you know you can't take the job, you should turn down the interview. You can probably find a better use for your time than interviewing for a job you don't want.

Cancel as soon as possible rather than go to a job that you and your gut don’t feel is right for you. Your time is valuable.

I think you can try and go for the interview, it might not be a waste of time at the end of the day and it is a way of you learning about the position and at the end of the interview if you still feel uneasy, you can opt out.

True. And it would be good practice because I'm a bit rusty with interviews.

Interview anyway if you want to get experience of giving interviews

It wouldn’t hurt to interview, I say. You never know the outcome really

That's true. Maybe things will turn out differently than expected.

I am an associate at an AM200 firm and was (IMO) very clear prior to accepting this role that I value work-life balance and wanted to try to keep work at night on the weekends to a minimal, but since February, it seems like it’s always something that requires my time as needed disregarding “business hours” or my personal schedule. Thoughts on whether to bring this up or continue to be a team player until I burn out and pay off my student loans?

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

Hello Fishes,

I have got an offer for Malaysia from HTC Global for 42 LPA in Indian currency. I have got an offer from alstom, Bangalore in hand as well for 27 LPA. I think if I get an offer in India for around 32-35 LPA, i should prefer staying in India but I need 1-2 months of time to be in that position. HTC is pushing for sending passport as they need to get it stamped. Any suggestions from anyone on how to handle this scenario?

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
