I don’t plan on returning to the office. My commute is too long (NYC) and I work across too many accounts. If everyone I’ll be working with on any given day won’t all be in person, then I might as well be one of the ones on Zoom. Much more efficient use of my time. That being said, I do miss seeing my colleagues.

I prepared a presentation for an interview with a sales leader, it went well and I was offered a final interview with regional manager. The sales leader I interviewed with gave me a bunch of feedback, but said to find out information about tech stack, which I for some reason, didn’t consider. I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?
