Actually yes. For my last gig I had been freelancing for a couple years. I went full time and when asked salary I gave a range. They gave me the high number

I had a recruiter who suggested a # higher than the max I initially asked for. And I got it.

I had the opposite. I was asked my range at a job. The lier of a hiring manager told me that was fine. I went through all the interviews and this guy then calls me to tell me I got the job.

After the initial excitement, he proceeds to tell me that the range for the job was actually lower than my lowest number. I was so pissed. It was an obvious bait and switch.

@ACD OP I was also helped by a CCO who really liked working with me and wanted to support me as much as possible

Usually in the middle unless they don’t have the budget

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to say, as a guy in my mid-20’s, cheers to all the 30-40+ y/o LGBTQIA+ folks here—I know we roll our eyes at the performative rainbows on everything now, but you folks made this possible for the rest of us—you fought for acceptance, for our rights, and you made it through the struggle so people my age don’t have the same weight to carry, so we don’t have to be as afraid.
We have a long way to go, and I’ll carry the torch too, but I really think y’all deserve more gratitude. Happy 🏳️‍🌈

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell.

I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
