Is it a bad thing if an interview originally scheduled for 30 minutes gets cut short for 18 minutes only however there were no significant questions where I get stuck ?

I take many interviews daily and according to me it is usually not a good sign. If I find a candidate who has good basic knowledge , I ask questions of multiple other topics to see which topics he has explored and which he hasn't. That usually takes most of the time. But if I see someone who does not even know basics, I give them few minutes and few other basic questions to redeem themselves, but after that if its a clear no, then we close the interview.

Agreed but in my case I didn't get stuck in any questions, I answered it and when I asked for feedback towards the end I was told that it was great.

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
