Just finished negotiating offer from start-up. I also just started a new engagement which is starting to ramp-up. What should I do until I get my TN visa? Keep booking vacations?

Not a bad idea. Who knows if you’ll be able to fly in a couple months due to COVID, and it’s also a rare opportunity to have rest time between jobs. Pull the trigger on vacations

Thank you for the comment! I will get right on it!

I am interviewing for a Strategy leadership role at a SaaS company. A bit rusty on interviews so crowdsourcing from senior folks here, what are best practices or good examples of certain behavioral questions.

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? This question is tough because there aren't very many levels above me so cannot say in an EVP role.
