i have this odd recurring thought that there’s a point in your career specifically while interviewing for jobs that you realize you’re finally at the same level as your interviewers & there’s no weird barriers bc of age diff’s.

like you go from being a 22-27 year old interviewing with the head of recruitment to a 35-40 year old at the same level as the people you’re interviewing with. like your generation is finally in charge of calling the shots… does that ever happen? lol

I went through something similar very recently interviewing around for a few gigs. I was being considered for ACD, while being interviewed by other ACD/CD who are generally a bit older (I’m in my late 20s) but realizing we were on the same level was mind blowing. How did I get here? 🤣

tooootally. i feel like that’s another crazy thing— so many people at the same level across a range of ages hahaha. and the realization of having more responsibility in a sense once you start leveling up…. wild

Yeah, for me, interviews have become easier. Recruiters and people you talk with through the first rounds are younger and or at earlier stages of their careers with less experience. Until you interview with the ECD or CCO

A bit more pressure but not as much as when I was a junior.

It also depends on your current situation. Is much easier to interview when you’re in a solid position and looking for something better as opposed to got laid off and need the job badly.

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off. Additionally I’ve had a couple interviews where company “X” interviewers have commented on this and in an effort to not bad mouth my previous employer I’m stuck with a generic answer like I want to take my career to the next level with Company “X.” Any thoughts/advice?

Hi fishes 😊
Anyone interviewed recently for a PM position at Adobe or just works there? I had the 2nd round and I know the next will involve me presenting a business case to a panel of 5.

1. Any idea of what the business case can be?
2. What is their general outlook on parental leave? In the 2nd round I basically told them that I am pregnant and willgo on mat leave in March. I wonder if I will be dismissed just because of this or I still have a chance...

Any thoughts?

I really want to explore other roles and job opportunities for growth and possibly being normal again 🙂 I've worked nights for more that 20 years. What do I do if offered the position but for a lower rate? Thoughts, comments, suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
