Applying for job at Edward Jones. Got through the first screening and the second step is to do another, more formal app. However it says they want my income information for each job and may require tax returns to prove this. Is that legal?? I’ve never been told I need to provide such information to a potential employer and I’m not comfortable.

I’m not sure if that is illegal or not! As much as Ik, the potential employer can’t ask about your current income anymore let alone asking for a proof!

I emailed back and asked why that information is necessary for my application… will update when I have a response.

WHAT?!? No, that is not normal at all. Even for a background check I have never had to do that. I don't know that I would want to provide that info.

Update everyone - the recruiter called me and said they would be using my salary history to determine my salary there. Totally unfair. I have decided to just move on to other prospects as this had too many red flags. In addition to this, the salary band was at least $30k less than industry standards.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

I am interviewing with a company. Last week, one week after the interview, my hiring manager reached out to me with a couple of clarifying questions.

I haven’t heard back since and yesterday I reached out to the recruiter to get some status updates. She has not responded. It’s already Friday. Is it a bad sign or am I overthinking?

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances.
