I'd focus on getting to know them. They'll ask a lot about you, how all the work is going, what you've been up to, and want to answer any questions.

If there was something that happened and you're like what should I have done, how should I respond, they are a good person for that. If you have extra time, say I have some bandwidth, anything internal I can help with or suggested trainings for your area.

So I had an interview with a company (3 rounds actually) which went pretty well. I even rearranged my schedule for last minute interviews because it’s the job that I really want. My recruiter said that they all love me & even wanted me to speak to the CEO. Then they needed a few days to speak with another candidate. After a few days, I was told that they needed another day because the other candidate couldn’t interview with the department lead. I’m really worried now. How should I take this?

Seeing how a huge number of start-ups get funding nowadays (money is very cheap), would you agree it is easier to get rich by being an entrepreneur or sticking to the consulting grind at say $100k-$250k/year? I know there isn’t a definitive answer here, but curious to hear what other people think.
