I was laid off from a finance company that faced financial difficulties a couple of years ago. Subsequently, I experienced a second layoff from the position I acquired thereafter. I have applied for the same position from which I was previously laid off, and they have shown interest in interviewing me. Do you believe I am wasting my time by pursuing this interview?

I would say “what would it hurt”? In this career funk we’re in if a prior employer came to me about interviewing again, I would do it. 🤷‍♀️

If you have reason to believe the company is on firmer financial footing than it had been, you might as well go for it. But, of course, it wouldn't be a good idea to return and walk into another disaster. But, companies have ups and downs, if they're doing better now, and you don't have any bitterness about the place, go to the interview and see how it works out.

I don't think you are wasting time. I would just make sure they are sitting on solid ground so you aren't in a position to be laid off again (anytime soon atleast because you never know in this economy). But right now jobs are hard to find so I would take an interview where you can get one.

Why is it that when ever I look at “entry level” jobs in IT they always want 2-4 years of experience. It’s entry level that means maybe some certifications if they didn’t major in the field or a degree in the field. Not 2-4 years already working in the field. Can someone please explain this to me?

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.
