A candidate I interviewed this week just requested to connect on LinkedIn. I feel like that's a bold move, but am I just being a curmudgeon?

In sales you want to stay in front on the client? Yeah, he’s ambitious and wants to sell himself. Not a bad thing.

Not sure why this would be a bad thing, if anything extending both your networks

Definitely bold. I would encourage anyone that asked me not to do it, but I don’t think it necessarily rises to the level of being a bad decision or a deal breaker for employment. You control if/when you accept, so maybe you don’t accept unless you hire them

like

It's ballsy for sure. It's also possible that they looked up your page before the interview and clicked by accident to add you and now they feel awkward and stupid. I don't see any reason why you should decline. Even if you hire someone else it never hurts to grow your network and you never know when you may need to hire someone again!

Hi,
I had call with the HR for he position based out of Mumbai everything in interview and they are ready to share the offer. however, I quoted for 10 lakhs and they said for fixed pay of 8.75.
Although, i checked on Google as well average pay they are giving is 9.7 lakh
So should I accept the offer as per their negotiation or shall positively tell them why 10 lakh is justified?
