I've been working as a contract EA for nearly 18 months. Every time my contract is about to expire, they just renew and show no interest in hiring me on permanently. Is this just so they can avoid giving me benefits? I have expressed interest in joining the team but I'm just ignored when I bring this up.

I applied for a position through a recruiter and made it through the interview rounds with the actual company and received a verbal offer, but haven’t heard back since. Am I able to reach out directly to HR for updates or does all communication have to be filtered through the recruiter?

If you’re giving your last day in the GSAP exit survey, will you still put in official 2 weeks right before? If you’re not also not staffed the week of your planned departure date would Deloitte cut you earlier?

Looking for your career advice! I currently work as a Content Marketing Manager but would love to move into a Head of Marketing/Marketing Director role.

Hi, my I485 is pending. Priority is July 2014 EB3. I-485J is for a software developer but I moved to different role (HR) within the same company. How will it affect my GC processing? Is there a way I can move to a different company in HR? Or is it best to stay with the same company until I get my GC?

I started in my first SDR position in a small SaaS start up few months ago. I am the only SDR and their first ever.
The base salary is ok but I haven’t received any commission structure up to this day.
I book an average of 3-5 demos per week. People always show up, but the thing that worries me is that I do not have a way to track how many meetings I book in our CRM,and to be honest I feel like I didn’t get the best training overall. Should I start looking somewhere else? Thoughts?

Thanks

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?

Hi all! Has anyone had any luck finding a new job during this pandemic? I'm afraid I am about to be officially let go (was furloughed) and would like to start sending out my resume. Does anyone know of agencies that are currently hiring EAs/admins?

Need some feedback! So I was forced to move jobs about 6 months ago due to reorg and the new leader opting to bring their existing EA with them, without even meeting me. If stayed at the company but accepted an offer for a job outside of the department I was in. I’ve now been asked by a manager from my old department to apply for a job they’re opening that would be a 2 step promotion. She thought she got my managers permission to approach me (see comments)
