I work in a startup and just got put in a PIP. I have a few interviews in the pipeline but I’m worried that they I may be “ineligible for rehire” during employment background checks. Should I resign before the end of my PIP?

You want to come back to the startup? Companies can't disclose performance during background checks (it's industry practice to not disclose due to potential privacy issues and possible lawsuits). Background checks only confirm where you worked, timelines, title and salary.

I got fired for cause at another large firm but this has never come up during background checks.

Yes go resign if you get an offer before the PIP ends. If no offer in sight and if you can deal with no income for a few weeks, you can still resign instead of waiting for them to fire you. Unless you really need the income that badly, then wait to get fired.

If you choose to resign, know that you don’t owe your employer a 2 week notice, especially if you’re PIPed. Email your resignation and let them know it’s effective immediately. Yes, projects will be left unfinished but it’s no longer your problem.

I am sorry you got PIPed. PIPs are used and abused way too much. The majority of people who get PIPed should have not been PIPed.

No, you’re still employed, so don’t quit until you have an offer.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

However I had been interviewing with another firm and expecting an offer I know this is not the best practice but is it allowed to accept another offer even though H1 transfer has been approved through another employer? If I accept the second offer does this raise any red flags with USCIS as they potentially see 2 almost consecutive visa transfer requests?

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
