Interviewing with boutique healthcare shop, they asked for references...I've never heard of any other firms actually requesting this. Just curious, Is it a small firm thing?

Pretty common. Make sure you get permission from your references and request that they keep it confidential (obviously). Good luck.

Haha thanks everyone! @p2 - since it's a really small firm and I don't want anyone to possibly make the connection of who I am; I'm going to plead the 5th for now lol. (Firm only has about 300 consultants)

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

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?

It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
