Manager in audit currently . I had a job interview for an industry position that was very easy. It was more like the VP selling me on the company rather than him interviewing me. Is this a red flag

Not a red flag. As you get more experience and become more qualified you become a valuable commodity. Employers will want you so in a lot of ways the interview will feel more like you interviewing them. Be sure to ask a lot of questions to make sure it’s a good fit and what you really want and not just the interviewer telling you all the good stuff to get you to jump ship.

Not necessarily. It does sound like they need someone but it still could be a good gig. I’d ensure you ask additional questions to try to sniff out any major issues (reason for job opening, preferred management style, flexibility,etc). Depending on your goals this could be at least a role to get you’re experience to get to another industry job after you have this one your resume.

No nothing wrong. When he said it was more selling than an interview, that’s what tipped me.

I (Spring Boot + Angular, FS, 6 YOE) interview candidates at the product company I work for.

People just show up with no prep. I interview for 4-6 YOE and these people aren't even expecting to write a single line of code. Even questions like "find the lesser of the two angles between the two hands of a clock, given the time" or simple geometry problems that don't need DSA knowledge is too hard to attempt.

They claim they know Angular/React/Spring without knowing basic Javascript/Java. 😒

Interview tomorrow for a tax associate opening at RSM. Been working in a mid-size city (different firm) that is about 70 minutes from this new home office in a larger metro. How flexible is WFH or dual model going forward post Covid? Am interested in this position and going to tax, but not be able to relocate for family reasons. Don’t want to drive 700 miles per week M-F. What will dual model be like going forward? 1-2 times week, 4-5 month? Seems like tax was more flexible than audit pre-Covid
