What does it mean when in an interview HR and the department head tell you the hiring manager is “tough” and has “different and higher expectations” than them ? I had a toxic boss before should I be concerned...

Run away from this guy as fast as you possibly can.

Any chance they were merely signaling you to be more formal, less conversational? How directly would you be working for the hiring manager?

Go on LinkedIn in and find people who have worked for the hiring manager before you.

Who puts their boss on LinkedIn?

If you take a girl out to a nice dinner do you automatically expect her to have sex with you? In other words, is dating an exchange?

Looking for opinions. I’m an IW with 2 yrs experience working from home at a Fortune 500 company w/ excellent benefits, target salary 75k. I was previously offered a job at another company where the 75k salary was guaranteed for the first year. Most people make much more than this once their comp fully ramps up, but, I would have to work in the office. I declined the offer, but now the CEO wants to meet with me several months later. Would I be crazy if I asked for 100k guaranteed salary?

Personal life is not so nice since I manage to see my family and gf every 30/45 days only. Colleagues have their own lives and at the end we don't hang out much.
My dilemma is:
A) going back to Italy at a lower salary with less growth opps but better personal life or
B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?

Thx! :)
