Sounds silly but does anyone feel guilty interviewing around for jobs to see what they can get while being somewhat content in their current role?

Totally relatable, especially if you have a good rapport with superiors and colleagues. However it’s probably the best time to look so that if an opportunity comes up you can take it because you “want to” instead of “need to”.

Never fell guilty about it. Just because you’re content where you are right now doesn’t mean you’ll be content next year. Always keep your options open and be willing to grow at another firm. Your company doesn’t care about you from the high level when it comes to tough business decisions, keeping your options open is your leverage from that.

Nope. Always look for a opportunities. People get stuck in their roles and don't realize that you can get paid double then what you make now. Now it varies, what does your job offer now. You need to be able to distinguish what your looking for. If it's not at your current position then keep it moving. You got to take your career into your own hands. Happy hunting

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

I really need advice. I’ve been in my current role for a couple years and I’m just so defeated. I am good at my job. I work so hard and I’m so undervalued and unappreciated.

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
