I had a linkedin recruiter reach out the other day with a job offer requiring a 70% pay cut... got a reply „comp is not everything when evaluating a job“ (yes true but 70% cut....)

Dear God - grant me the confidence it takes to tell someone that a 70% pay cut is OK and that comp isnt everything

Quite a bit of money in it compared to the 0 work you have to do.

Maybe email back your resume and note that you’re looking for a more senior role?

I had an Amazon recruiter reach out for a more basic role. After responding, they said I was a better fit for a more senior role.

Once you’ve applied via referral link to a position, does it keep you in a referral pool or do you need to constantly get a new referral link if you apply to another role say 4 months later? Curious since they only last 30 days and i feel bad asking for a link a 3rd time now…..

Today I learned a new thing. One candidate was referred by a colleague of mine in the system. He got selected and offer letter rolled out.

When he checked the system he realized the referral was not taken and the background system captured it as direct hire.

So my friend is not going to get any referral incentive.

Wondering if anyone else faced the same issue?

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat.
