Anyone get contacted lately by Amazon Web Services recruiting? They’re hiring like crazy. They asked me for a comp target and I gave a crazy high number 40% more than I get now—they didn’t blink.

Yes I did the same and they were like yep that number is good. I’m like whaaaa? Can you pm me for more info. I have one more interview

uplifting

recruiter cold calls me then was aloof and condescending. never looked back. (this is for an information security position working on an API project)

If it is technical I can substantiate this. They pay very well but the interviews are insane. They will make you go all the way through bit mathematics and algorithms to architecture and security. And that’s only for a marginally technical role.

I’m contracting with a company in an admin role, but sometimes I’m asked to do projects that would normally be outsourced to a marketing or design company like designing a flyer for example. It’s not in my job description, but I have the skills to do this work and so why not ask me to do it? Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?

Hi all! I'm searching to pivot to a Procurement role from 10 yrs in Food Safety Quality Assurance Mgmt role, fell into it.

Hello,

Last Wednesday I was able to get a
Deloitte job referral, I applied the next day. Yesterday I signed in to my account and it shows that I applied for the job but when I click on the link it show me an error page. I searched for the job on the website itself and it disappeared. There were like multiple positions but different locations, now they’re all expired. What does this mean? Did they choose a candidate already? It’s weird it never happened to me before

Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

Question re: salary. I’m thinking about accepting an offer at a small (4-6 attorneys) transactional firm. I would primarily be working on NDAs for clients.

Does this salary seem low? If so, any advice on what someone in my position should ask for?

Or do you think I overstepped the line By being so transparent about my wants for compensation and within the organization?

This might be a dumb question, but I’m relatively new to marketing and trying to learn about different types of agencies. Are media agencies involved in the creative process at all or it’s literally just media planning and buying? I’m looking at different company websites like omd, mindshare, etc. and it looks to me like they are doing projects that creative agencies typically do. Is there a big difference these days between a creative agency and a media agency or there is a lot of overlap?
