I’ve received two job offers—one is a permanent Office Administrator role with a company that has increased the pay each time, even after I declined it twice. The other is a 6-month Payroll Project role with a large company. I’m feeling unsure about which one to choose.

I would go with the permanent position in the economy. It sounds like more of a sure thing and it also sounds like I really want to hire you.

Thank you for your response. One factor that’s making me think twice about the permanent Office Administrator role is the 45-minute one-way commute. While the offer is appealing, the travel time is a concern.

like

Permanent for sure. Forty-five minutes is nothing.

I commute 1.5 hours each way. 45 minutes would be nothing for me. Go for the permanent role.

I would go with the permanent role too, but i have to admit, I'd be a little wary of a company that fought so hard to have me after saying no twice. Does that kind of desperation worry you at all? Still, I'd choose the permanent one.

I worked in the same industry before.

Permanent. If the commute is too rough for you, it's at least steady beyond 6 months while you continue the search for something else.

Yes , that’s true

What are you considering? depends on what you're hoping to get. I would analyze the pros and cons of each and see which one makes more sense. I personally like Permanent Office Administrator role

like

I am not sure they offer full time role. But i feel to try out the payroll path.

You're feeling unsure which one to take? I have primarily been about to only find seasonal / contract / temporary work since the Great Recession and none of those jobs turned into something permanent nor did the agency have anything for me after the contract ended. The no brain decision would be the permanent role especially if they offered an increase in pay TWICE.

I commute 2 1/2 each way. 45 is the blink of an eye. Go for it.

Does anyone have experience interviewing with Deloitte Internal Services? I had my final interview a week and a half ago, and received positive feedback throughout.

The role still shows as “Interviews in Process.” We did discuss potential start dates, but no salary. Any experience with receiving offers for an internal services role? Is this common?

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?

Hi there - my company is returning to office next month. Hybrid to begin before they ramp up to 5 days back in office by end of year.

I think the fact they want to bring us back 5 days is disrespectful considering how much work we’ve put in remotely over the last year. Not to mention productivity studies say people who WFH (and have no kids) are substantially more productive.

All that being said, does anyone work at a FinTech/Tech company whose RTTO policy is more flexible? Looking to leave
