I'm not leaving to another "staff" role. Poor career choice imo

Do you know what kind of re assets they have? Financial instruments like reo's, MBS's etc, or investments in mortgage servicers, or actual physical real estate?

If the culture of the company and the salary sound good to you, go for it. Life is an adventure.

The real estate investment company I audit has happy accounting managers. The staff turnover is high because the managers are all a little crazy, but it wouldn't be a terrible place to work IMO. They simply don't offer the $ I want to make.

Hi Fishes,

I applied to one of the roles and after initial screening I happened to see in the website that there are no suitable openings for my profile.

I heard that the cool off period is six months. Does that apply to my situation because I didn't attend any interview.

Can I use referals to apply before 6 months? Or should I wait for 6 more months?

Thanks for your help.

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

And how often do they get accepted and the general sentiment by the management when one asks for it?

Assuming that my team works from Pune (and i like the job scope) but would like to relocate to Bangalore office (hometown) once the team stabilizes and processes are in place.

Would love to talk with you on DMs if you have any experience similar to this.

TIA!
