I am looking to hire a mid level associate for my team. How can I conduct an effective interview to find someone who be committed to our work? Interviews are so superficial.

So many new job levels. The top keeps getting farther away... What is an Assoc Director? Exec Director? How are they different from Director? What about principal vs partner?

Can anyone share their employee recognition programs on tenure?

29M single moving to NYC from Europe. Working in Midtown. Which neighborhoods should I consider living in if I want to have an active social life, night life, and “real” NYC experience like the movies? I would also like to meet creative people that are not working in finance or consulting. European vibe not necessary, but could be cool. I thought Chelsea, SoHo, Hell’s Kitchen were a fit but I’m hearing that they’re not what they used to be anymore. All thoughts welcomed. Thank you folks.

I have a LOT of credit card debt. It has just grown over time and I can’t find my way out. I’m considering debt consolidation, specifically a company called National Debt Relief which seems legit but I’m just so hesitant because I’m scared to make my situation worse. Or a personal loan to pay off all the CC debt and then have a smaller all in one payment. I’m intelligent and I work in finance, it’s so embarrassing. HELP.

My personal trainer keeps telling me that I’m not eating enough and I should be eating 1500 calories. Prior to that I was losing weight and eating 800-1000 calories. Now that I’m slowly increasing to over 1000 calories, I’m gaining weight back and it’s stressing me out.

Anyone have success in increasing calories and still losing weight?

How do I determine which/when creative work I can put in my book?

I started working at my current agency about 6 months ago, and some of my creative work has finally come around to either ship or die. I've also worked on a few new business pitches - none of which we ended up securing as clients for various reasons. Is there a specific protocol I should use to decide what work I've done can be put on my public website to add to my book? Any rules of thumb or caveats I should be wary of?

Anyone work for Rivkin Radler? How is the pay/WLB?

Advice Needed: Last month I was laid off from work, however, since have been able to secure another position with another firm (located 90 minutes from my house in a more rural part of the state) doing real estate closings. Aside from the commute and the work (not incredibly fulfilling or challenging) the job is fine. I do consider myself incredibly fortunate to be employed during these challenging times.
Do I aggressively continue my job search or wait until the beginning of the year?

I switched two years ago from regional real estate/energy to a local small, but established residential real estate practice. While I’ve gained so much practical experience and run my own book here, I want to shift to a non-traditional remote role in real estate but keep getting turned down. I have strong credentials but I’m worried this small firm experience is killing my marketability to large companies.

Anyone taken short term disability for mental health issues? What was your experience communicating to your firm?

Interviewed with a firm yesterday. I’m a second year, practicing primarily in family/criminal. They asked me if I would be willing to take a lower salary to start because i have no experience in the area they practice (education, employment, etc). Not sure how to feel about being asked to basically take a clerk position for an indefinite period. Is this common?

I got a job with the federal government. I think? All the paperwork is completed, got email confirmation that background and suitability cleared, but still don’t have a final offer. Anyone know of this happening to someone and them NOT getting the job? I need to give notice ASAP but everything I’ve read says to wait until you get the formal offer and time just keeps ticking.
