I'm a US citizen living overseas, want to move back home but would prefer to get a job there first. Is it possible to do almost all the interviews remotely? And after getting the job how long could I wait to start? (Gotta find a place to live etc). Looking for jobs in software, FAANG, consulting, that kinda thing.

Now is the best time in history lol. Almost all interviews are remote. Prob can stretch out a start date for a month if not longer. You’ll be fine broski.

Thanks! Very good to hear!

No it's not possible

I don’t know of anyone who has had to interview in person over the past year or more… you will be more than fine. I would just recommend getting a US number if you don’t have one already, oddly enough it makes recruiters feel like you are not that far away. Where are you based btw? I moved to Dubai after college.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

I am a young professional... But every job interview I’ve had so far pretty much just wants to know what kind of person I am. They are as interested in my leadership/communication as much as they are in me talking about my experience.

Is this how it will always be? Or is this predominantly because I am in lower positions at this point in my career?
