I have a job interview for a side gig that I am extremely qualified for, and they really want to work with me. The problem is I just realized that my work authorization expired - and now I am running to renew… but it’ll take a few weeks.

Do I take the interview, and let them ask? Do I ask them to pay me via Venmo? Do I just do the work in the meantime and ask for payment later? At a loss… don’t want to lose this opportunity.

I'd interview, let them respond, then give them a heads up. It can take weeks/months to fill a position sometimes (hell I've even had a start date 6 weeks out). If they really want to work with you, they'll figure it a way to make that timeline work if it's not time sensitive.

Even if it is and they pass on the gig this time, taking the interview could put you on a short list of resources.

Or you can bill them after you get your work authorization.

The job is a crypto-related job - should I ask for payment in crypto? Would be happy with this too. Trying to get creative here because I really want this opportunity.

As for your question about being paid in crypto… know this: EVERY celebrity that starred in this year’s crypto Super Bowl commercials demanded to be paid in legitimate currency. Not crypto. What does that tell you?

I’m in PA school now but in the process of interviewing for what might be my dream job in medical imaging industry. If I get the job pay will start around 120k at a large company with room for growth. If I stay in PA school I will have around 120k in debt and will probably work in vascular surgery. What would you do? It’s literally the second week of school for me, I have my 3rd interview for the job next week

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!
