I’ve been interviewing bc I’m so miserable at my current job. The added pressures are really getting to me more and more that I feel like I’m going to quit before I even get another job...

I feel the same way, and no, not currently at FCB. At certain points I feel like I’m learning and at other points, I feel like, I’m being abused and it’s just a toxic environment. In any case, wishing all of us going somewhere where we can be happy.

Sometimes it’s better to quit with nothing lined up (if you’ve got several months of savings) and focus fully on the job hunt. Especially if you’ve got a few years under your belt at your current place. It’s 2018 and there’s way less stigma about “it wasn’t the right fit so I took time to find the right one”.

You gotta do what you gotta do - take care of yourself! That’s the priority If quitting is right for you, then don’t feel any shame in it. Just make sure you set yourself up for success by having adequate savings, a go-forward plan, and don’t burn any bridges. It’s a small small advertising world here in Chicago. Also, just to clarify on an earlier post, you only get severance if you get laid off - getting fired means you get nothing. Best of luck to you!

Hi,
I had call with the HR for he position based out of Mumbai everything in interview and they are ready to share the offer. however, I quoted for 10 lakhs and they said for fixed pay of 8.75.
Although, i checked on Google as well average pay they are giving is 9.7 lakh
So should I accept the offer as per their negotiation or shall positively tell them why 10 lakh is justified?

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

I’m interviewing at Google’s Treasury team. The role would be as a rates analyst managing their portfolio - primarily cash and short duration fixed income products (100bn aum). TC: ~150k, not sure of breakdown.

I currently work as a quant/middle office at a very well reputed mutual fund, but this is not a market facing role. TC: 125k, but they have a very generous profit sharing plan that contributes 25% of my pay to retirement accts if I stay for 6 years, so ~160k?

Any thoughts?
