I’m beyond angry. Agency liked my book and wanted to interview me. Recruiter talks to me first and asks a million questions. I answer all of them. Now because the recruiter made me out to be some kind of ass they won’t interview me. Why should this person have so much power?

If this makes you mad, working in an agency (where, newsflash, basically nothing goes your way) might be a little too challenging.

You’re not going to cut it in the job market with this attitude and energy.

It sucks not getting past the phone screen but you gotta treat each gatekeeper as an equal decision maker. Humble yourself for both the CDs and recruiters!

Is it you 👽?!?

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
