Referrals are risks to reputation, for better or worse. I think it’s a personal choice at which point you feel disinclined to provide one, in circumstances such as this. Personally, I would provide a chance to explain.

Just to clarify: Idk the exact circumstances. I’ve done a little bit of digging. I do want to give a chance since I can see why it may be tough to be upfront if my hunch is right.

Currently looking for a position in Tampa, FL that focuses on culture and employee engagement. I have 1.5 years of HR experience under my belt with a law degree (concentrated in discrimination in the workplace) and I have a bachelor’s in psych. Anyone know of any roles available? Also considering generalist positions.

Considering a Product Owner role. Any best practices of what questions to ask during an interview? First phase deals with a virtual Teams interview with the recruiter and her manager on Tuesday. Excited since this is a hop from a Product Analyst role and entails an offer of over $30,000 from what I'm getting now! This would be a permanent full-time compared to my current contractor role that ends in March.

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?

I work on a consulting team at a large software company. I’m a job hopper, around 2 years each at my first and second jobs and a little over a year at this job. I recently found out they’re shutting my team down. We’re not fired, but they’re transferring us to the core implementation team, which has a horrible reputation for malignancy, overworking, and isn’t at all what I was hired to do. How hard is it going to be to for me to find a new job? Should I just stay and try things out? What next?
