If you feel this strong you can use a family /friends local address. The challenge is travel logistics during the interviewing phase and potentially losing out on relocation bonus.

^Have you done this before? Do you then have to lie or sidestep during the interview process because you can't quickly pivot with your schedule. And presumably you would then have to pay to fly yourself out for interviews?

Yup, local gets preference usually. Companies don't have to fly you in for interviews, and wonder if you're really committed to making the move if you get an offer, and then have to pay for relocation.

Looking to get a bit of insight on breaking into tech working as an executive assistant after working for BigLaw for 20+ years.

I've been applying to tech companies for executive assistant positions - in particular, remote work positions - and I have yet to get a nibble.

I'm extremely tech savvy and have a lot of initiative but I am afraid that these companies are put off by how long I've been working assuming that I am a middle-aged woman that is not able to go with the flow.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
