I have an opportunity to chat with an associate director about a role I'm really interested in. They said they're open to video chatting or a call. Is one preferable over another? (Cont.)

Video chat! It puts a face to a name and makes the conversation more interactive

I figure folks might be totally sick of video calls all day and it might be a relief to just do a regular call. On the other hand, it might make a better impression and cause them to remember me more readily if we do a video call.

I’ve been doing as follows:
- First discussion by phone call.
- Second one onward by video.

Bit of a niche topic: I’ve been in TS/SCI processing for a Science/Tech/Weapons analyst position with the CIA for 3 yrs since I finished grad school in chemistry, but CIA positions are sort of set it and forget it since they can take so long. I’ve since been focused on a Patent Attorney track and am with a firm that will support me taking the patent bar/law school. If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?

They need me at my job, but I’m being way under paid. I’ve asked twice for a pay increase.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
