      Pros

      Great work done. Fantastic co-workers. Fulfilling job. Never any issues with being paid overtime or salary. Fun and various projects.

      Cons

      Promotion opportunities and management level jobs seem to be linked to a certain social/ friend group. Unwillingness to embrace new ideas, or change. Group founded by a sexual abuser - reputation is not in good light at the moment - not good for career progression.

          Pros

          Learning how to live life with others, learning to live “on your own” out of college, help with finances, sense of community.

          Cons

          Very low pay. It should definitely be in review how little everyone is paid. The “core members” seem to have more income than their helpers who work for them. You’re essentially an underpaid healthcare worker that is not properly trained for the work you do (think CNA tasks). Sense of community, unless you are in a house with all women, in which case you will not receive proper assistance because men are not allowed to work at the house due to restrictions about gender.

        I have a 5 year gap in my work history due to an illness. How do I explain this? I can't lie, SSD is on my background check as a previous employer. I am on it and looking to re-enter the job market and get off of it, but I understand it is a reason for employers to pause in hiring me.

        Senior Associate

        How do you interview for a position when you are under-qualified based on seniority but not based on skills? I currently serve as a senior associate for a reputable consulting firm, and I have an interview for an associate director position. However, I am just shy of the minimum YOE requirement included on the job application and relatively young (though I meet all of the other requirements). Any advice on convincing the hiring manager I am ready for a mid-level role?

        EY

        Had 4 behavioral interviews for a position last week. Last Friday (which was the last of the four interviews), the interviewer spent most of the interview selling me on the job and didn't ask me any questions. She ended the interview by saying she thinks I am confident and would be a great fit for the role. I took this as a good sign but giving it's 2023 you never truly know. Has anyone ever had an interviewer do something similar and not gotten the job?
