Pretty sure I’m about to be fired. I have an offer in hand anyway and have been on a few interviews that have gone well, and a few more lined up. Am I gonna be ok?

Why do you feel you are gonna be fired?

likesmart

OP, I was in a *very* similar position. Also at 6 months, also felt like I was gonna be fired because partner said some really f’d up stuff. I’ve already put in my notice, this stuff does not get better.

Seconding SA1. This seems like a pretty sweet gig. Law firm terminations typically come with several months of pay where you are still on the firm’s website, etc. You’ll be able to chill while you wait for one of these opportunities to pan out.

OP, how did it go?

I’m waiting on an offer for what’s named IT Business Analyst but it’s also Salesforce Administrator work. The company is The Adecco group so they are fairly big. I have two years of Salesforce admin experience and in my interview they said my experience is perfect to what they are looking for

So my questions is, I think they are going to offer around 80k but I don’t think their going to be guaranteed bonuses with the offer. Should I negotiate a bonus to the salary or negotiate a higher salary?

Welp. Had an interview scheduled for this morning for 30 mins. I join the webex & nothing.

Meanwhile, I have another interview for a different company Monday & the recruiter reached out today asking if I had any questions or do a zoom test run.

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).
