Hello all, I’ve been at in my current role for a year and a half now (HR Ops Administrator), I interviewed for an HR Associate role within the same company, with a 63K-72K pay range, 5% bonus every year. Due to changes within the organization the role was eliminated. I was approached with a “Network HR Associate” role instead but haven’t received any information regarding the pay range for said role. Anyone familiar with the pay scale for such a role? In Jacksonville, FL?

Tips for ramping up technicals as an associate for lateraling? My skills are fine for new analyst interviews but I have very limited live deal experience and so I don't think my corporate finance exposure has improved much here.

Expecting an offer, which I’m excited for but after the interview I realized that this division is 98% start up. The title is Sales Associate however the responsibilities beyond selling are: build the sales program; responsibility for all admin; education of staff including developing and conducting training regionally; creating marketing and promotion campaigns; reporting and measurement of staff performance involved in sales. No direct reports. What is an appropriate title and salary range?

I’m one half of an in-house legal team. I followed my attorney to this company because he’s the best boss I’ve ever worked with. We are looking to add a third person, an associate. I get to be part of the interviews because the day to day work will mainly be done with my assistance and my boss rightly understands that I need to like the person. What should I ask? I’ve never interviewed anyone above me. Basically just want to know they aren’t a jerk to staff.

A bit of my background: worked in KPMG for 2 years, did a MiM at LBS, now at a procurement specialist in London. I have practiced cases during college, but away for a year.

There’s a position I want to apply for that requests one more year of experience than I have. I’m considering still applying for the position, because, why not? I have a friend who is a junior associate at the firm and am wondering if I should submit through the friend, or if it would be better to submit directly. I don’t want to put the friend in a position of recommending someone the firm may feel is not qualified. Any thoughts? TIA

Hi all! I just got a Senior tax associate role in industry ($85k, MCOL; 17% more than I currently make). Enjoyed the people I interviewed with; my only hesitation is that the company itself has had a rough couple of years (healthcare company, had a few bad acquisitions that they’ve since shed off). Their busy season is just January and early February, with their team working until about 7 PM during the week and a few Saturdays. I’m interested, but it’s also my 1st offer; what would you do?

How many rounds of interviews do firms usually do for laterals? I have a first round coming up with a co-chair, partner and associate in the group I’ve applied to, but it’s unclear whether that’s just a screener/I’d have to do callbacks. If relevant, I’m being poached by a partner that just joined from my current firm so my understanding was that I’d be fast-tracked.

Am interviewing for a director, product role at a SaaS unicorn fintech. Currently a principal/associate partner in a boutique strategy firm, have 16 years of total work experience.

Hi guys. So I’m currently an AM in Audit (Private Equity) with KPMG. Got an audit Mgr role with BDO and also interviewing with a top PE firm for a Valuations Associate role. I strongly think I’ll get an offer but I need to accept/reject my BDO offer asap as I’ve stalled for too long just to buy time for the PE recruitment process to be finalised.
Need to decide if I should reject the BDO offer and risk waiting on the PE offer to sail through or being jobless if I don’t get the PE role. Thoughts?
