I recently accepted a role at a smaller company and now I’m having second thoughts. I was planning on giving notice on Friday but now I’m not sure. I started looking because this summer has been really slow and I wasn’t excited by the work. Things are picking now and we’re tact planning now. Should I stay at an agency that I know, feel supported by creative leadership, and comfortable or leave for the unknown?

If you already accepted, you better be okay with completely burning every bridge there (and wherever they go next) if you decide not to leave. I don’t really believe you could have gotten all the way to accepting a job offer if you merely had too much time to relax at your current job. There’s gotta be more than you were looking to leave behind than a light workload.

smart

Rescinding a job offer acceptance there’s no grounds for a burnt bridge in my opinion.
A letter of agreement is not a contract and I never count on someone as a hire until they have successfully quit their current job.
The fish doesn’t always make it all the way to the boat.

What do you care about? The money? The quality of the work? The fame of the work? The people you spend your days with?

Does anyone have experience interviewing with Deloitte Internal Services? I had my final interview a week and a half ago, and received positive feedback throughout. The hiring manager had positive things to say and mentioned they hoped to make a decision by the end of last week. It’s now Friday the week after. The role still shows as “Interviews in Process.” We did discuss potential start dates, but no salary. Any experience with receiving offers for an internal services role? Is this common?

Hi everyone,

For the salary expectation, I put in 85k which is in the range. I’m currently at 64k which is below the minimum of the range. Is this realistic?

I'm in Oklahoma, and an avid Aldi shopper. Prior to COVID, my favorite merlot was routinely stocked there - under $6 a bottle and better than many $30 bottles I've had. It was by Burlwood Cellars. Sadly, supply chain issues have apparently done a number on Aldi's wine selection and it's not carried there anymore. I've searched high and low for a comparable merlot, but to no avail. So I need alternate suggestions or better still, somewhere I can buy my old fav.
