I worry for my siblings back home in Mexico ever being able to achieve FIRE with salary rates as they are :/ One of them has the same consulting role as me (but in the Mexico office) and they get paid $18k/year. Sure, cost of living is less but not that much less, I promise

My family from South America came here to work at high pay, save, and then FIRE back home.

This is very common among immigrants. Lots of South Asians do this as well. Come here, save a lot and then go back and get good jobs back home with a nice retirement cushion from here.

Recruiters: if a candidate said something along the lines of “I’m obsessed with this opportunity” (not verbatim but it was that energy) how would you interpret that?
I don’t feel it came off desperate like I need to get this job, but rather in a “I’m really excited about this company and role” kind of way.

Edit: they’re also aware I’m in final round interview for another position, and meets all job requirements if that adds to anything

I’m finding that a weird side effect of losing my job in this climate is ad agencies taking advantage of my weakened position. They get in touch, proactively or in response to my reaching out, and they want to hire me as they are in good shape. When I reveal I was laid off, the offer changes to freelance or maybe nothing. My work, awards, the fact that they know me and approached me in the first place should be enough. I don’t want to lie about my situation. Any ideas how to avoid this?

Throughout the interview process, I've engaged with a Jr recruiter, the hiring manager, several potential coworkers, and a Sr recruiter (but not HR). Most recent round of interviews was with potential coworkers. I sent them thank you notes and have been waiting to hear something for about 1.5 weeks. Should I be following up with the recruiter or the hiring manager to check on the status/next steps? I got a good feeling from the hiring manager (we met twice) but never got a timeline. TIA!
