Why do recruiters care why I left a job over 6 years ago/two jobs ago? I answer but I genuinely can't think of a reason why a job that long ago matters when I have relevant recent experience but every recruiter specifically asks.

I always answer, but it’s wild how much they fixate on something from years and years ago when I’ve grown so much since. Like, shouldn't my recent wins speak louder? Feels like they’re digging for red flags instead of looking at the full picture.

Even if there is a red flag... it's been years lol

I've always wondered these same things. They'll ask why you left a job a decade ao when it really doesn't matter. I don't know why they ask it to be honest with you.

Unfortunately was dragged into an audit despite the fact I don’t work in audit. Why does audit RM say yeah your hours will be 50 hours/week when you’ll have to work way more to do the audit. Seems very dumb - if you have work do it, if not don’t work…

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

I hate that I still want to hear from him. I just have no idea what I want him to say or what I want to say. I feel like if I get anywhere near him he’ll be able to sense my pain. Are we sure the no contact rule is only 21 days? I feel like I need 21 months.

So embarrassed. I literally had one job to do today which was to schedule a client and give and take her paperwork when she came in. Totally called her by the wrong name today AND gave her the wrong paperwork. She was really nice about it but I feel like my boss was disappointed and I'm disappointed in myself. I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

Just initiated the conversation with Salesforce recruiter and other than some Industry focus for the Solution Architect - did not see much of a difference between the job descriptions for these 2 roles

This would be for L8/L9 level.

Can someone help understand the difference in day to day work?
