Was just reached out to by a headhunter for a growth role (“directly under the Founder/CEO”) working at a Enterprise / Consumer Tech firm. 2B revenue, founder is worth 10B+.

This is my first time being reached out to a role like this (1 YoE) - seems pretty interesting, but I’m a little nervous - what are some questions you’d ask? What sorts of questions do you think I can expect from the interviews later on?

Headhunter call is low stakes. Don't be nervous and feel free to ask questions you're genuinely curious about.

No offense, but it seems like they’re not telling you something. You might be amazing, but no one with 1 YOE would report directly to the CEO of a company with $2B revenue.

You need to ask whatever you are interested in. This isn’t something you should have other people prepare for you or it won’t sound genuine. What do you want to do? What are you passionate about? What do you want to learn about the company?

As for interviews there is no way anyone can guess what a random unknown company will ask in an interview.

I’ve worked in a role exactly like this with 1 YOE. It’s likely a small team that reports in to the CEO where you’ll be supporting more a more experienced director/VP while still getting significant C-Suite exposure

Very interesting role like M1 mentioned. The pressure is a bit higher, but I think it’s good exposure with very top of the company as you really understand how a business actually functions across every org and all the pieces that interact. It’s also nice because your team can cut through a lot of BS and politics since you’d report to the CEO, and have his implied backing when trying to push initiatives

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal.

The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!

Since I will receive a fixed annual salary, does this mean that I don’t need to worry about the concept of billable hours?
A related questions: generally speaking, is the bonus related to the hours that I worked?

This is super weird but I feel like I can’t relate easily to people. Hear me out - I moved and lived in different continents, countries every 5 years or so until now… I feel like I’m an outlier and my life is super different from anyone else’s. I have some friends I’ve met at each stage of my life, but it’s been temporary. I feel like I’m always going in a different direction than others. It makes it difficult to have a stable life and close friends..

I see two crowds these days. One thinks housing market will crash. The other thinks housing market will soar.

The contrarian in me makes me think this is a decent indication that housing market will stagnate (or increase minimally) for a few years.

As a general rules, I feel like the majority cannot foresee a crash/surge coming. The prevalence of such expectations would hamper the pre-conditions necessary for such a dramatic change.
