ACN 🐠 - a friend referred me to a PLM position, and a recruiter reached out. Only problem is I have no interest in the position I was referred to.

Is it still worth talking to the recruiter?

Take the interview and express your interest in different roles, the recruiter could help connect if there are any open that you’re interested in

My work is in analytics/data science. I thought my friend was just giving me a general referral, but they ended up referring me to a random position.

Take what you can get.

Accenture is pretty good about that. You can actually mold your career the way you want it. Take the interview, ace it, and once you get in get to work making your own moves. Don’t let your career happen to you, happen to your career. Cliche, I know. But it does work.

Am I crazy to take a pay cut to “chase my dream”? Manager looking to leave Bain - I want to do corporate sustainability - I got an offer for a traditional corp strategy job at $195k base, $23k bonus (no longer-term incentives aka no equity / profit sharing), so similar to current comp except for NAP, but am hoping something sustainability-related comes through. Right now in talks for a sustainability director role that would be closer to $160k base / $20k bonus. (More in comments)

Is it possible to ask for too high of a salary during an interview?

I had an interview end early because they couldn't match my salary ask despite me being a "perfect candidate" (their words). The range was the same/lower than what I currently make, and their role was for a more senior position. I gave a highball range but I figured there would be some negotiating. Maybe that company just isn't the right fit for me, but I'm just thrown off by how quickly the call ended after that.
