You don't actually have the other job yet. It's just a potential, so go interview and see what happens before stressing

Thank you! It's a creative planning role where I'd be the idea/campaign lead (which is basically my favourite part of the job).

Do it. Not worth putting aside your dreams for some company that can't/won't fulfill them. Job hunting is tricky cause the timing is never perfect, the fastest offer often wins. It you've got something better, I think most would understand why you'd jump over.

Go in and interview. VERY LEAST it's networking. You never know, they may not even offer it - or the other role could fall through.

Don't forget: you are on trial period at your agency and same goes for them. If they weren't happy about your work or some internal reference came along, they wouldn't hesitate dropping you.

Bottom line is this...it's a cold business, even the nicest place given a better opportunity or a downturn wouldn't hesitate to screw you. Take the best job available and don't worry about which or why

Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?

I often fail at some interviews badly.
Not sure till when I'll be able to carry forward by this and the hard wlb at FAANG companies is giving me a fear.

I joined a new consulting firm and have been here for 6 months. Recently, a SaaS client (1k employees) that hired my old consulting firm reached out to me about a job opening - Lead BA working primarily to implement their benefit admin system for insurance companies. My current TC is 95k. Is it worth making the jump if the offer is north of 110k? Anything I should look out for? The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.

I attend to tell company (A) on Monday that I will not be joining them. Will there be any issue with company B filing for a H1-B transfer soon?
