i’ll never forget how he did a student portfolio review, shat on a friend, and said “if you want to see a good book, now this is a good book” as he continued to pull up his own site🙄🙄

He’s the kind of person who means well, but genuinely should not be in charge of managing anyone. And i mean anyone. Not a single person, of any level.

I heard he was sent to LA due to internal complaints

This is true. The Google Play client had an existing relationship with Erik and specifically wanted him to work on the account but apparently Erik was no longer welcome in the NY office so they sent him and the Google Play account to LA. This situation worked ok for a little bit but Google Play wanted the account to be based out of NY, since that’s where they were. So there was an attempt to create a satellite office in NY just so Erik wouldn’t enter the Chiat NY building. But that all fell apart and I’m not sure what happened to Erik after that. This was in the fall of 2019.

I have an interview for a relatively new law firm early next week. However, upon doing more research about them, I noticed that their website has only a black-and-white website about only what the law firm is about.

My questions are:

Is this a red flag?
How do you guys prepare for interviews specifically with law firms that have little to some information on their website and Glassdoor?

Thank you so much in advance!

So, I fucked up a bit. Was interviewing with the recruiter and they asked me my rate — I went low as I had a number for a senior role. The problem was I forgot in the beginning of the meeting it was mentioned this was an ACD role. Can I go back to them with a more appropriate number for the role should I get the offer?
