I may lose a job opportunity because of my credit history - what can I do?

Started in *May* - Prior to signing everything, I expressed concern to the recruiter about the credit check. Honestly, it’s not great but it’s not terrible. The recruiter told me many times to not sweat it because it the background check was the main thing. And that we could talk through anything on the credit report. Now HR is telling me they may rescind the offer pending review. I’m crushed. What can I do?

Need help. I have $13k saved for my kids age 6, 9, 10 in just a high interest savings account which actually decreased to only .50APY. Looking to move it or do something with it to help it grow more than a few bucks a year. What are my options? Not sure if they'll go college route or where life leads them. I'll be adding approximately $300/month this year to the savings.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

What is everyone’s outlook on crypto? I have some litecoin from awhile ago and wondering if I should indefinitely hold it. Thanks!

recently asked a question about going to law school with an accounting degree. follow up on that- if i work 1-2 years at my current firm (offered 72,500 full time after graduating undergrad) and acquire my cpa (courses and exam fees paid for by the firm), then apply to law school, would that be more beneficial? ive been reading a lot that work experience helps with the application, alongside having a high gpa and LSAT score

I have an interview for a marketing coordinator/proposal writer position with an architectural firm. Does anyone have any tips or advise? I really want this job, but it’s slightly new territory and I want to be prepared. Thanks!

I recently made the switch from industry finance to consulting and I’m struggling to find my place within the role. I was brought on as a Sr.Associate and I feel like I’m not producing at the same level as those below me. I’ve been told that my focus probably needs to move from producing deliverables to guiding/leading those who are producing deliverables. It’s really throwing me for a loop here and I just want to know if this guidance for a sr. associate makes sense in the consulting world.

I’ve been a creative strategist, account manager (both agency) and an ad sales operations manager (television/digital media) and I’m tired of bouncing around. I’m trying to narrow down paths that I can take now, but am at a loss. There are so many ways I could go. Because of my last two roles I have a great interest in creative operations type positions, but I’m not quite sure how actually land the job. Any thoughts?

How do you politely decline a third interview at a company or an offer?

After my first initial interviews I realized the responsibilities are that of 3 marketers & I’m not interested in getting a job that’s set up for failure.

I don’t have another offer lined up but I also don’t want to waste their time continuing to pursue me as a candidate.

I'm really struggling to land any interviews. I'm wondering whether there's anyone in marketing, comms or consulting who might be able to look over it and tell me what it is I'm missing/doing wrong? 🙏

Open question for the Bowl! What is the best career advice you’ve ever given or received?

Anyone have one of those cushy jobs that isn’t fast paced and actually has some level of work life balance but also pays decently? I’m tired of busting my ass and churning out work, being burnt out, with no end in sight.
I’m ready to switch industries or anything to have things be more relaxed - I just can’t take a pay cut. Any advice or ideas aside from accepting the slow death of being overworked forever?

Is asking for a raise at a company I’ve been at for 6 months to soon? I believe the work I’ve been doing is worth more than what I’m making now

So back in July I went out for a new position at my small company that was rapidly expanding (Account Manager). Was notified that I didn't get the full promotion but was told instead that I was still moving up and was going to be Customer Service/Account Manager Support. The new Account Manager had no customer service experience within our niche industry. I instead had to help help him with all customer service issues.

I feel like I am being taken advantage of. ADVISE APPRECIATED.

Hey folks, I work in marketing and program management and, along with everyone else, the recession is hitting me hard financially. When I try to find companies that pay well, they’re all in tech… but all those companies are laying off, freezing and rescinding offers (had one rescinded myself) 😕 so my question to all of you - what industries/sectors are still in demand for marketers/program managers right now that actually pay well?

Tips for professionally quitting current role? Here's what I'm thinking, feel free to pick it apart!
-Schedule a call with boss, on a Thursday since my last day I'm planning will be two Thursdays later
-On the call tell boss I'm resigning and thank for his leadership and the opportunity I've had
-Send the letter to him right after the call
-This is where it gets fuzzy... Do I go ahead and the send letter to HR as well? Do I tell other coworkers before official announcement goes out?

Does the addition of “(level) II” make a difference to anybody? I am the only marketing communications specialist for a lead child-welfare nonprofit. We oversee four counties in two circuits. Director recently gave me add’l merit-based raise (after my annual raise, been here 14 months) & slight title change to Marketing Comm Specialist II. No plans to add a level 1 (would be lower) specialist but will add level 1 engagement specialist to team. Should I update resume/cards or is this confusing?

Hi Fellow professionals,
I am eagerly looking for a job change but I don't want to limit myself to just Marketing (I have 3 years of experience in this field).
What are the other job options available for me without having to start all over again? What is a lucrative business/market/industry r.n.? I would love to work for Blockchain, Defi, AI, ML or even sustainability industry but I am open to other options.
Have any of you did something similar recently and are enjoying the new job change?

Hi everyone,
I want to have a career advice. I have recently started a full time job in gaming industry for 2 months as a jr manager. Previously i never worked in this industry nor in this position were i am working now. I am trying my best to do the tasks but its really hard. I am not liking it at all. I don’t have much resources to learn it online also. I am struggling and having a bad day almost everyday. What to do? Losing the energy to look for other job after work. Its only 2 months…
