I spend $200 a day on the company dime when I’m traveling, but the moment I step foot back home, I feel physically sick spending $15 on lunch. The corporate expense account completely warps your relationship with money and turns us all into temporary millionaires who can't budget in real life. I see juniors ordering room service steak on a Tuesday night who have three roommates and zero personal savings back home.

Zero personal savings is an issue. But spending the company's dime is definitely not

(LONG POST) On a contract job currently (work in healthcare consulting). Interviewed with a startup consulting firm in Jun’18. Loved what they were doing. Found we were a great fit. Got offer (contd)

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.
