Anyone else find it kinda weird recruiters have the final say on technical positions? I get most of them can’t fathom not finding 100% of what’s in the job description, but shouldn’t a technical person be interviewing these roles? Half the people I speak with have 0 idea what I’m talking about. Basically talking to a bunch of glorified HR specialists who are of 0 help when they present you to the hiring manager. Just cut recruiters all together. Sham industry.

Working at my first startup and received equity with my offer. I’ve also received equity increases during my employment.

If not, what specific paperwork should I be asking for?

How are you balancing health and wellness with demanding work schedules? Since COVID I have observed many of my non BIPOC peers working out during the work day. My calendar looks like Tetris and requires a ton of video calls. Shy of me working out at 0-dark-30 or late at night, I can’t see how I could possibly work out during the work day. What works for you? Clearly I’m doing something wrong.

Is it ok to be short and direct in an email? Do you ever do that with colleagues, admin, or parents? Or do you always take the time to add niceties like “I hope you’re well,” and “I’m sorry to reach out about this again” and “thank you so much for your perspective! I really appreciate it!” — before just stating your stance, reiterating what you already said, or asking a question?

Hypothetically speaking: You are interviewing w/the Hiring Manager. You are enthusiastic, well-versed and appropriately caffeinated. Throughout the interview, the HM yawns on camera - 4 times. Not your average yawn, more like a hippo yawn - including the sound that comes with it. Would you think they heard your answers during those yawns? Should you expect an invitation to the next round?

Any recommendations or encouragement would be greatly appreciated!!

Interviewed for a company today. The remuneration package $120k-$180k/year [Base + % of Commission = OTE] (50/50 spilt).

They’re asking for an expected salary, if my expected salary is $100k/year, comes out to $8.3k/month.

Based on the $180k and paymix of 50/50, that means $90k is the base salary which is lower than my expected - is this correct? If so, what should I do?
