Any McKinsey&co mums. I’ve been contacted by a recruiter to discuss a position. I’m a mum of two very young girls (<2) and I’m wondering if that option is worth discussing, given the demanding schedule in the company. I’m keen to work and be successful, but not happy to leave my girls for 3-4 nights a week. Any intel greatly appreciated 🙏

Hi, I've been looking for a new position since finding out I'm grossly underpaid at my current job compared to my colleagues doing the same job. Been offered a position that would double my tarket salary and increase my base by an ok amount. I accepted verbally Friday late afternoon and expect a contract ready for signing on Monday. However I think I might be offered another job soon that I would rather have. Unsure on what to do. Any suggestions?

Hello fishes,

I have received a job offer and gave them my expected salary to which the hr told it was above their budget. (Did a proper research and quoted them the range)

They gave me an offer with a difference of 1 to 1.5 lakh from what I had asked.

Any tips whether should I go with the offer they gave or still negotiate?

If negotiate kindly provide some tips.

TIA
