In terms of the interview process obviously it depends on where you go, but having a deep understanding of media (specifically the digital space) can go a long way for learning how to add value to your client's business as an AE

General Question I started tuition reimbursement last year in August. I since have an interview with another job that is paying a lot more.

Do they take it out of my 401k? I know a lot of people will say I never shouldve applied but I didn't think too much about actually get a call back when I applied.
