I just found out that all the search funds popping up recently from MBA grads are being subsidized by their ultra rich parents (masqueraded as a family office). What a joke

I think their qualifier was "popping up recently"

Suggest you refrain from double-clicking on our administration

I think the correct phrase is some of the funds hiring people I know are backed by their parents. This is no different than some of the MBA grads I know are being hired at firms where.
1. Their parents are on the Board
2. Their family owns/ started
3. The have relatives in the C-Suite
4. Their dad plays gold with someone in the C-Suite

Wealthy people tend to have connections, they tend to use then. This should not be an epiphany.

However, this is a very small percentage of all MBA grads. Envy is debilitating. Stop.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
