I’m interviewing for a role that sounds incredible. It's hybrid finance and ops, interesting company, great mission. The catch? It’s in an industry I know nothing about. I’ve been in manufacturing and logistics my whole career, and this is consumer tech. I’m excited but nervous I’ll get in and immediately flail, or worse, stall out because I don’t understand the lingo or culture. Has anyone here made a big industry leap successfully? How did you ramp up?

Hello guys! I work as a Campus Tech, I deal with 1200 kids for a Charter K-8th grade and 100 staff. I love working with a school district due to the amount of time we have off during school and summer off. But I’m debating on the pay I feel as I’m under pay for the amount of work that I do, troubleshooting Chromebook’s, laptops, printers, & projects…anything that plugs into the wall I cover. Does anyone else work with school district doing IT work for. My end goal is getting to an ISD school

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
