What are your best interviews tips? I'll start: wear something that makes you look and feel your best, and draws attention to your face. Super helpful when doing Zoom interviews and you see yourself (looking fabulous and confident!)

Prep your environment well in advance and make it a distraction-free place you're comfortable in (I assume most of us are doing Zoom interviews, at least for the first round). For me that means tidying up my home office, checking that my headphones are working and connected and setting my laptop to DND. Also, open Zoom up at least 20 minutes before. You don't want to try to join a call only to realize you'll have to download a software update before you're able to.

Great tips, totally agree.

To piggyback off the opening Zoom early, join the call a few minutes early, too. Do not wait until the second the clock turns, just 1-2 minutes will suffice. For in-person, I try not to walk into the building anymore than 10 minutes prior. Between 5-10 is the sweet spot.

I never considered it an issue to be too early, but I read an article about finding that sweet spot and definitely agree with it. Shows you are punctual and thoughtful.

Subject matter expert with my CPA. I’m completely fed up with the compliance aspect of public accounting Tax but don’t mind the technical side. Does it make sense to become an attorney to get out of compliance work and still do something related to specialty tax?
Or do I just go the college professor route? Wouldn’t mind working @ BNA or something like that either but I’m seriously fed up with everything about tax compliance and can’t keep doing this

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
