Don’t say perfectionist

1) trusting subordinates/project team members with too much responsibility before they prove they are ready, I.e. assuming their level means they are automatically qualified to do the work

2) non emotional gives off impression I’m not passionate about the work/success (which is true, but easy one to spin into positive with stories on how you’ve addesssed it)

Guess what? I have flaws. What are they? Oh I donno, I sing in the shower? Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me-- no, don't sue me. That is opposite the point I'm trying to make.

I work too hard

I tell them to stop asking that dumb antiquated interview question that has no bearing on performance 😂

I have limited patience for being asked questions where the premise is I either paint myself in a bad light or spout bullshit

I’m too nice sometimes. Honestly it usually works out for me because my teams work hard for me because I respect their work styles. But some people view it as weakness so I say that

Reality is that I am a procrastinator. Don’t do much work until just before it is due.

Are you me

Just venting here… At WAS for an adjustment interview based on an affirmative asylum and the officer said he’s never done and affirmative adjustment before… and questioned my client when he said that he has never been in proceedings. Officer said “I don’t agree with that, I think you *have* been in proceedings” when we submitted the affirmative asylum approval and I had to show that to him smh. Why aren’t they training these officers 😭

I also believe my current position is limiting my job prospects. It is in tech and events and I accepted it in 2020 because I couldn't find any other oppurtunity and needed a new job.

Any advice?

I went through a few interviews with the Deloitte Cybersecurity for a manager role. I've been in more senior roles at competing firms. Initially I said no thanks, but after the 4th call they made an initial offer at the top pay of the manager salary range and sent me a link to the application form. It's a 20% pay bump for me. So the question is should I take a demotion for 20% pay bump? Or counter with a lateral move? Is it even possible to negotiate a higher level after interviews are done?

Hey, I am appearing for a pre-sales engineer interview. It will be a sort of role-play demo session, where the team will want to understand how I present, how I manage a room, how I keep my audience engaged and also your technical abilities when asked regarding the solution. I have a liberty to choose any data science related product. I am essentially confused as to what product to choose, and how to structure the presentation. I would highly appreciate tips and suggestions. Thanks
