I contracted on a try & buy reduced rate with an end date. I now see the financial struggles of this client. I am concerned that they will no longer be able to afford me at my standard rate. Should I accept the "anything is better than nothing" rate and extend the initial terms?

I quit a toxic job 2 months ago and immediately started interviewing but haven't gotten a single offer... I went through 2 months of interviewing with a company that showed a lot of interest and they ultimately rejected me this week. After two months!! I've been applying to other…

I have an employment gap of three years. However, I have been working remotely as a writer while I take care of my child. I also started a parenting blog to share parenting tips and family stories. The most prominent problem is that people in my country do not acknowledge remote…

Should I be concerned that my manager is always out of office and working from home? I'm on my second week on the job and my manager has been 'working' from home since my third day. Is this a red flag? I still am punctual to work, and am actively doing my duties, having access to…

Accounting for time working as a 1099 contractor If you worked as a 1099 contractor for a company before they hired you as an FTE, do you count that time as having worked at the company? I worked for one year as a 1099 contractor for a company - reason being was that it was more…

When I first got hired at my current company, I temporarily oversaw one of our other market while my co-worker was on maternity leave. When she returned, I transitioned back to the market I was originally hired for and all has been going well. This afternoon, my Director called…

What is a good way to handle this. I don’t want the company I am interviewing with to call my job unless I become finalist . My job doesn’t know that I am looking for another job. When I interviewed with the recruiter last week she asked for my supervisor information I gave it to…

Hey everyone, I wanted input on a situation I currently find myself in. I started looking for a more senior position after, during my quarterly review, I was informed that as a paralegal moving to a senior class was not possible given that we already had two attorneys performing…

I live and work in NJ and it gets very hot and humid in the summer. I work at a branch of a large, international company. Our home office is in another state, and we rent our space. Consequently, our landlord shares the building with us. The problem is our air conditioning: We…

I have an interview for what is essentially a promotion soon. I consistently struggle with the end-of-interview question "do you have any questions for us?" This will be especially true for this interview because I've been with the company for over 8 years and already know the…

This is nuts! Note: I’ve put terms in brackets [ ] instead of using the ugly language this woman used. I accepted my dream job with an amazing company last month. I’ve been trying to get into this organization for 4 years. I knew a full 10-year background check would be run in…

When I first gave my notice, I was receiving a lot of interviews. Flash forward to having 'left' the company and my paid PTO running to a close at the end of August. While I'm still receiving pay from my company, they contacted me to remove my association on my LinkedIn platform…

I just received an offer, but I'm not used to negotiation and I don't even know if I should. I'm coming from another country & they are paying for my visa. It probably is well within the range... Should I say anything? I'm known for stretching things thin when I negotiate and…

Entry Level with 3+ year experience I've been applying to jobs for months.I applied to mid-senior level positions and they say they're looking for someone with more experience. I applied to entry level positions but they want people with 2-3+ years of experience. I'm starting to…

I hate my finance job and as a result find myself stressed and angry at every little thing I’m asked to do. I make mistakes because I don’t care about any of it but that gives me more stress when I make mistakes. How do I shift this mindset? Im in process of finding a new job and…

Turned in my notice and they keep giving me more work I turned in my 2-week notice and wrote a transition memo for all my projects that I need to close out before my last day (this Friday!) Each morning, I have a list of new tasks to complete prior to me leaving and my 2 page…

It’s been now 7 months I’ve been hired as a manager in finance but since I’ve started 3 managers already left the team. The team is new but not stable. I love my managers but I don’t really don’t I just received a job offer from another company someone just reach out from…

I need to vent. I got to make my first hire a few months ago. It was also the first time my organization implemented a more formal hiring process (hooray, start-up culture). When I discussed the process with my boss, he was emphatic that I would be leading it, and when I asked…

My team mate will ask every man on the team for help before he'll ask me. I've just been promoted to team lead, and my current team are all men. One particular person (Mr A), has worked on my team for a few months, and works on an opposite timezone to the rest of us. Our previous…

Have you ever had a very promising first call with a recruiter? "You're a perfect fit", salary, the works, even letting you know the hiring manager is definitely going to reach out - only to get ghosted? I'm experienced and have spoken to tons of recruiters, this is a first.
