Any other hiring managers feeling like all of your candidates are asking for more money last minute just to see how far they can go? Like if we say the range is 110-130K, they say they’re looking for 135K, you offer 135K and then they say they won’t take the job for less than 150? Not even with competing offers. It’s hard for me to stay excited about wanting to work with someone when they do that. What a waste of everyone’s time.

Best to drop them and move on. I know a lot.of candidates use competing offers to negotiate higher BUT that happens when the employer is playing the game too and doesn't reveal budget. If budget has been revealed, then, they are actually offering a rationale for not opting for your offer. Thank them and move on. If you end up offering 150k despite revealing budget, it will mean YOU are the one who is not reliable

Always be interviewing. Candidates should have multiple options. Hiring managers should too. I firmly believe in paying people well and fairly, but miss me with the games.

How do you keep up/in touch with your network? Mine barely post anything on LinkedIn, so commenting on their posts is out of the question, and apparently it's impolite to just message or email them if the job searcher doesn't have anything to share besides asking for a referral or opening. If I don't have any relevant information to share with them, what should I do?

I need advice. I moved into product management under a year ago to an early stage startup. The first few months went well, but the last 5 have been chaotic. It feels like we’re becoming more sales led, there are too many pivots (I expected some) our roadmap is becoming influenced by sales/ceo. Essentially, we’re trying to do much. It’s happening so much I’m starting to lose confidence in the company/strategy. It’s also causing me anxiety…
