Lmao are you the same person who posted multiple times on this topic? If you’re not happy at your current firm and you have a chance to return to your original firm, just do it. No ones going to care about that on your resume unless you leave again after a short period of time

It’s probably a good way to get a pay bump but your hours will most likely go up as well.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
