I’ll start, I had a manager who would occasionally email/ping me during the day saying that I did something well and to keep doing it. Super motivating.

Second this!!

Be authentic - Nothing turns me off more than when a M or PPMD goes on and on trying to make it seem like everything on the project is alright when it’s clearly not. Personally, I work doubly hard when I know the leadership I’m delivering for is transparent with me

Provide air cover to the team so they don't get caught any more than they have to, in politics. At the end of the day, the buck stops here and we have to take accountability.

For experienced accounting professionals considering a transition into a career with solid work/life balance, a fast-growing biotech company near San Francisco is hiring for a SOX Compliance Manager and Senior Accountant/Manager roles. Roles pay well over $100k.

Generous benefits, fun company culture, and VERY favorable stock options. Message me if interested, and I will try to screen you for an interview!

Just had the last interview of the second stage which consists of four 45mins interviews with different people. I got the feeling that the last interviewer wasn't focusing on what I was answering to him. No small talk in the beginning and he was slightly laughing where there's nothing to laugh about while I was doing my introduction. He also asked me the same questions (at least that's how I interpreted) and I had to repeat the same answer. Continue in the comments:

Is there irony in the fact that HR and leadership of sales organizations ghost candidates? The very people that stress over prospects disappearing turn around and do the same thing to people they've interviewed 2, 3, or more times.

I'm 4 for 4 this month being ghosted for roles that I'm well qualified for and either advanced in the process or told I would be.

This is brutal.
