If your first interview w/ a firm comes with a director rather than a recruiter is that anything to read into? Or just that some firms interview differently than others?

Hello US fish!
What advice would you give a London-based writer/CD/ECD looking to work (remotely) for US-based clients? I’m relocating to Costa Rica for a few months next year so trying to make the time difference work. I don’t mind what sectors but, ideally, short-term writing gigs. Any tips on approaching clients/agencies? Which recruiters are worth reaching out to or are they all in league with Satan? Should I just give up now and get a job counting turtles? Thx

Hi guys
I am a front end developer with 5.7 years of experience. I have two offers in hand
1) cropin technologies prod based company in Bangalore offering 27lpa all fixed
2) ciklum service based but client I will work on is VMware and offering 30 lpa all fixed with joining bonus of 1 lpa
Kindly suggest which should I choose?

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.

Is there value in me doing a MBA? I have no debt, so would be nervous taking on so much in student loans but I am trying to play the long game here.
