Landed on a job post on LinkedIn. The position interests me. However, I don't think that I am qualified. Based on the job description, I can tell that this may be a company that I would like to explore. Unfortunately, they don't have any other positions open right now that I am comfortable applying to. That said, I found the senior manager of talent acquisition on LinkedIn and want to reach out to them and inquire about a more junior position. Do you think I should? And what would I say?

I’m interviewing for a start up and the role sounds interesting. Usually for the “test” part of the interview I’ve had to analyze data.

Is this a lot for an interview?

I’m a little afraid of doing all this work to then just have them take my ideas and not hire me.

Is it wise to go to my company’s competitor for a promotion and risk burning a bridge?

We only have one significant competitor in our industry, and it’s likely my best option. Love my company, been with them for years, but I’m really struggling with how frustrating this situation is.

I may lose a job opportunity because of my credit history - what can I do?

Started in *May* - Prior to signing everything, I expressed concern to the recruiter about the credit check. Honestly, it’s not great but it’s not terrible.

Now HR is telling me they may rescind the offer pending review. I’m crushed. What can I do?

Questions about job hopping-
My average tenure at a company is ~1.5 years (with ~11 YOE), but each jump I've made has yielded progressive/tangible career growth.

I'm concerned after my most recent jump (went from a product director to a head of product position at a different, smaller company after only a year) that I've kind of poisoned future career prospects at larger companies.

Any insights on whether this type of job hopping is a complete deal breaker for potential HMs?
