Congrats on the interview! One question that always stands out to interviewers is, “What’s the team dynamic like, and how does the company support professional growth?” You could also ask, “What’s the biggest challenge someone in this role might face, and how can they succeed?” Good luck!

Thank you so much!

Assuming it hadn't already been covered, you could ask something about the company culture. That could provide kind of a soft ending to an interview. I've heard that it's always good to ask why the previous person in the job left, but that always seems like kind of a probing question. But if you can find a graceful way of posing that question it might elicit some interesting info.

My annual perf discussion is monday morning. I work on a tough team for a tough place. I think Im a pretty good/almost high performer but only around 3 years and my boss seems to still act like I’m brand new (lifer boomer). I try to tell myself he has 6 direct reports and has to do this with everyone, Im no more or no less special - but I hate these convos and negative feedback even when most of it is unsurprising/fair feedback. Any tips? Just need to get through it! HR people are not immune!

Lots of talk about CohnReznick on here lately… let’s address a few points.

1) Yes, our salaries are in line with B4. Happy to discuss specifics with the skeptics.
2) We are one of the few firms still actively hiring people without FDD experience.
3) Our WLB is miles better than B4.
4) Yes, we are paying strong referral bonuses because our practice has literally doubled in the past year.
5) All of the above is due to a strong pipeline and significant growth within the practice.
