Laid off with severance until 10/1. Should I mention this in my interviews? I’m employed through 10/1 but I also don’t want to distract them in my interviews by mentioning that I was laid off.

No. If you get a job before hand you’re fine. I didn’t mention it to my interviewers.

Thank you! This is helpful. :)

No need to mention.

Now I wouldn't bring it up.

After 10/1 Im not sure. A pro is it shows to employers that you can start immediately. A con is a layoff has a stigma.

If I was in your shoe I wouldn't mention it until after 10/1. After 10/1 I think you would need to share because it would come up in a background check

Good luck

I would not say anything

Just wanted to brag a little. This may not be much for some but I’m super excited. I graduated with a B.A in chemistry July 2022 and I start my job this Monday with a salary of 60K! This is the most money I’ve ever made 😱😱. Really proud of myself even though I know some people would rather make more. I’m hoping to hit 100K within 3-4 years. Don’t give up recent grads!!

I’ve been told my company is changing my title from Associate Director of BD to Sales Executive. I’m concerned it reads like a title demotion. Is it just semantics? How will this look for my career development? Curious about the standard perception of Sales Executive from a seniority perspective. Where does this land on the sales roles hierarchy? For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.

NY is wild. Found out this AM that they are building a massive luxury building literally next to a homeless shelter that has been in the news over and over again for how bad the conditions are. I’m sure they’ll charge $6k for a one bed.
