I don’t think you need to disclose company name but I think you should let your recruiter know that you are actively interviewing. Sometimes that helps them speed up the process or get creative with offers if they really want to hire you.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. I’m thinking I’m in a unique situation where I am interviewing with two really great fintech companies. So I think I’m going to name drop

You don’t need to tell us but I DO love dropping company names to hiring managers so they hurry the F up and hire people that are in a competitive interview situation.

Okay perfect, definitely name dropping thanks to everyone’s advice! I’m in a position where it makes sense

Yes. I recommend telling them so they can help you with timeline expectations on both. Hopefully, that also helps the companies you’re interviewing with to not sit around as you may not be on the market long. Good luck! Crush those interviews.

I’m the only black corporate associate at my firm (AM Law 200). It’s recently come to my attention that I’m getting paid the same as associates with far less experience, but still mentoring and leading on deals. Then they brought in more white associates making far more than I do, still less experience. Comp is a black box here, but I’ve managed to figure it out. Interviewing at other firms at this point. I don’t feel like asking these people to treat me fairly. Anyone else ever experience this?

I’m in the middle of an implementation project currently but am actively interviewing for other positions. Is it inevitable that I’ll be burning bridges by leaving the firm? Idk why I feel so guilty. I’m one of the only BA’s who the client trained for 3-6 months and have close relationships with most management. Project won’t end till late 2022. I just don’t see myself happy in implementation work long term. Advice? Thanks!

I desperately need advice. About 4 months ago, I interviewed for my dream job at a firm that sounds like it would be the perfect fit and wonderful to work for (Firm 1).

I accepted an offer with Firm 2, and signed all documents and am waiting for conflicts to clear. (Cont.)

I just finished what I thought was the final round of interviews for a job that I really want. Everything has been going extremely well. The recruiter just called to tell me that they want me to do one more round, though. This will make 8 interviews total, including a full case study presentation to 4 people. Should I be worried? Is this a red flag?
