For a consultant role: It likely won’t matter as much where you live as long as you have an airport nearby.

For a non-consulting role: Earlier in the pandemic, I was trying to change roles (I don’t live in Redmond) and was applying for jobs internally. I spoke with many hiring managers and the majority wanted me in Redmond if the job was posted in Redmond - it was frustrating to be told that over Teams, when everyone was working from their home offices. Now…I think you have a better shot. Many hiring managers realize that they have to adapt but there will be a few that are still clinging to the idea of an all in-person team once we can return to the office.

I say go for it! Win the team over and once they’ve gotten to know you a bit, then bring up the location thing.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack.

I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?

Reps: do you feel it’s wrong to submit Freece directors for jobs over your paying rostered clients? If the lead isn’t a fit for your rostered clients is leaving the opportunity (and potential money) on the table the “right” thing to do or are you stuck feeling a sense of loyalty to the producer seeking talent?

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
