I’m interviewing this week and have an upcoming two week trip. Would it hurt my chances if I said that I wouldn’t be able to start until late November/beginning of December?

Also wait for the offer or their question about availability at least. Don’t be the first one to bring it up - only if prompted.

I wouldn’t mention a single thing about availability until offer is in hand, even if they do ask (“I’m looking to start a new position immediately - exact start date will depend on how immediate this process is!” or something similarly vague if asked, which I never have been)

like

No. Two weeks notice + consideration for Thanksgiving week means early December regardless. I’d also consider giving 3 weeks notice to your current place out of respect for Thanksgiving week being a dead week

Thanks! I don’t plan on bringing it up but wanted to be prepared in case they ask about availability

I’ve always had great luck with stating what I was hoping for, but expressing my willingness to try to work something out of I’m needed sooner. They’ve either been happy with my start date or asked for a reasonable compromise. And no one ever felt left in the dark.

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role. Does anyone have any tips on virtual interviews and how to gauge the culture of the firm and if it really will be a good fit for you? I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?

Are there any agencies where creatives actually have good work-life balance in LA, SF or anywhere else for that matter? Like no weekends or no working more than a 40-50hr week? Or do I have to go in house for this? Or do I have to leave advertising altogether?

I feel like I’m either getting burnt out by work or trying to heal myself from it. There’s never much time for real life and I don’t want to be on my death bed reminiscing like, “Wow, I made some cool ads.” Nothing scares me more.
