What advice would you give to so@wine who joined a start-up but is realizing that the company is sinking more than swimming? How do I talk about that if I start a job search? Do I just look like a jerk? I’m giving it a few more months before I decide to start a search, if only so I have programs running instead of leaving them in a lurch.

Hello,

Most interviewers are assessing your skills and not the company status. If you focus your answers as to why you wish to join their firm and less to do why you wish to leave your firm it will compensate accordingly.

Be vigilant not to make it seem that a companies performance in their market is the reason why you are jumping ship (thats naturally implied). It may come off as someone who will not persevere in the company during hardships.

Regards,

Good luck in your endeavours. I am sure they will see your tenure as a plus specially in a time where the average tenure is roughly 1.3 ish years. Specially with senior positions, its a plus.

Boomerang to Big 4?
I switched from Big 4 to a mid-sized firm a few months ago. The sole reason was for for a good pay raise. However, I'm not loving the new job as much, because of lack of resources, outdated technology, and work opportunities are not what I thought. Is it crazy to go back to my old firm? I really liked my coworkers there, and could perhaps ask for a better raise since I left. I maintained good relationships with my old team. Is it bad to leave after only a few months?

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
