Hi
I have received an offer from a company and I'm in the second stage of interviews with another company. I am very interested to see if I could make it through for the second company. So can I accept the offer from first company and then if second one also sends an offer then let the first company know I would like to reject? Also i am on H1B visa. Should I be concerned with that?

I am interviewing at a Production Studio and it’s going well. The majority of my experience is agency side. They mentioned base salary with commission, as they want to see growth in the next 3-5 years. There has been no talk of salary yet.

I don’t want to give up my current salary, but I think this job would be such a great fit for me. Advice?

Please help. I’ve moved up the ranks pretty quickly at the company I work for to become a Principal SE. My manager thinks the best next step for me is to move into management and leadership and has started pushing me to apply for an engineering manager role. They say that I will be a good fit because of my strong technical background paired with the leadership and people skills I display currently.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?

There is a fair amount of psychology used in advertising - however, psychology is a field of medicine; medical ethics dictates fully informed consent of a patient before use of medical techniques.

If people are unaware of the basics of Neurolinguistic Programming, they can’t consent to be subjected to psychological techniques. If someone is a minor, they cannot consent to be subjected to psychological techniques.

How does one remain competitive without violating psychological ethics?
