My old director. She's well-educated, brilliant and super approachable. We've stayed in touch since she moved on and I talk to her regularly about roles I'm considering and my career in general. Very lucky to have her as a resource.

I'm lucky to have a circle of friends that range form former colleagues to people I went to school with, and talking to them has been quite helpful. Sometimes you just need a pep talk, and sometimes someone will steer you to someone who might know of an opening. I'll check in with a former manager sometimes and those conversations generally make me smarter and more confident.

Old managers you have good relationships with

I’m so grumpy about new campus hires. Sometimes I’m judgmental (your hobby is “working on your golf swing,” really?). Sometimes I’m just exhausted by the worried earnestness. Sometimes I’m amazed that they seem to have zero useful skills, yet they’ll be making 150k easily in the not too distant future.

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?
