If anyone here has been both a hiring manager and purely on the HR side, could you share your thoughts on which role you enjoyed more? I'm being offered a hiring manager position in a start-up up but I'm not sure I fully know what I'm signing up for.

I’d say each role has its own perks and challenges. As an HR pro, you get to shape the whole hiring process and think about culture and compliance, but it can feel a bit removed from the day-to-day team dynamics. Being a hiring manager, especially in a startup, means you get super hands-on with picking your team and building relationships from the ground up. It’s more intense and sometimes chaotic, but also really rewarding when you see your hires thrive. If you love being close to the action and driving the team’s growth, the hiring manager role could be a great fit.

I've worked in hiring for a startup and you're basically a one-man show. You have to do all of the onboarding, training, compliance, outreach, interviewing… It's a lot. I'm not sure how many people you'd be working with, but my guess is probably not many. Which can be a little bit isolating.

Those who are or have been AUSAs, what sort of letters of recommendation make the most impact on an application (outside of a former AUSA/judge etc..)? My issue is prior to my current firm doesn’t seem to value the AUSA experience, we have no former AUSA’s in my office and only a view in the whole firm nationwide (same goes for clerks), and I was a transactional associate at my first firm so don’t think anything anyone would have to say would be particularly interesting to a hiring panel...

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
