Yes I made right choice.

Strength of firm balance sheet, governance model, ability to influence change, voting rights, etc… all matter

Entrepreneurs are leaders. Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. Not only must you be good at your trade but you also have to sell it, train your employees and be the shoulder they can cry on, and above all outlast the competition. Fly by nights are not entrepreneurs. Having said all that, there is no job or position that can compete with the income, lifestyle and job security of having your own business. Entrepreneurs think in decades while employees think in days.

Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company. She however recommended me for the permanent opportunity to higher management. The acting manager came in, permanent role was posted, I applied, interviewed……manager told me they chose someone else external for the role. I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently

Just signed the outside employment form in KPMG onboarding system. I actually wanted to start dabbling in creative writing as a potentially monetizable hobby, but I'm guessing this may pose issues.

Definitely interested in the "exception from this policy may be requested if provision of non-professional services doesn't interfere with one's duties of causes conflict of interest" clause, though. Has anyone been able to get one of those before?

I’m interviewing for a start up and the role sounds interesting. Usually for the “test” part of the interview I’ve had to analyze data.

Is this a lot for an interview?
