I have an interview with a managing director this week. What kind of questions should I ask?

I applied for a role a few days ago and found the relevant hiring manager today via LinkedIn. Should I send a follow up mail/introduce myself to this person. Would it leave a good impression or come across as desperate?

Btw, the person is in a “Talent Acquisition” position at the company.

I’m interviewing for a job and am in the third and final round. I have to develop a strategy based off of a case study and then do a 30 minute presentation to a panel of people. I haven’t ever done this before. Does anyone have any advice or best practices for this?

I had two interviews with two people at different companies and each time the interviewer had their camera off stating that they are having connection issues. Is that acceptable for candidates to do?

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.

How long is the typical wait to hear back about a job offer/no offer after a final round interview?

Hello,

I will be joining PWC AC Bangalore in couple of weeks for SAP tech stack.
I am joining from a product based company. So wanted to know how we are assigned to projects. Will there be any client interviews. If yes will it be very tough? Do we get a say in the projects we can get to work or its usually assigned and we have to take it up.

I am interviewing for an in-house role that I am really excited about, but they require 5 days in office. I have young kids, and these last few years of remote work and flexibility have really been crucial in helping manage it all. Has anyone else made this transition back to full time in office and do you regret it?

I haven't seen an AdAge or AdWeek news story about the work in over 6 months (sans Superbowl). All industry news is aquesitions or layoffs... Just me?

I feel like a lot of branded content goes by the wayside and has 0 shelf life ... are there any good examples that cut through and had some longevity?

"Hi. Reaching out because I really like your book. It made me laugh a lot. I have a great opportunity that won't allow you to use humor or smart thinking. Let me know what you think. Best, Recruiter."

Can we stop calling brands “brave” for putting out certain work? Looking at you, BK Andy spot. We’re not running into burning buildings to save people. It’s a f’in TV commercial.

How do you deal when you know a big round of layoffs is coming?

Do you ever get rejected from a job you didn’t even want and yet somehow you’re still upset? Haha I feel like a crazy straight man who gets rejected “fine bitch i didn’t want you any way!!”

Where is the industry going?

In 10 years, how will the traditional shops be doing vs. the consultancy’s vs. the in-house agencies vs. the PR firms vs. prod co’s vs. all the small specialized shops.

Just started at a new place but had to miss a lot of time due to personal events and holidays. I don’t have that much work yet so I don’t feel that bad but don’t want people to have a bad first....

Layoffs at buzzfeed.. I try to feel bad but could do without some of that trash

Has anyone accepted an offer, then before you start a better one comes along? I know agencies drop us all the time for better offers, but how does one navigate this?
