Been interviewing and noticed that HR has been super up front about salary. Like quoting actual $. In the past, they’d only talk numbers after the offer has been given. Anybody notice the same thing?

I think offer of employment and offer on salary goes hand in hand, i.e. "we would like to offer you the senior risk manager position at a salary of Euro 105 000 /year, and 5 weeks of vacation, are you interested?"

Earlier this year when I was interviewing, most of the places I was talking to gave me a number in the initial phone screen and there was one place that I didn’t get one until the written offer. Surprised as well with how many places were very upfront about it

I experienced this with almost everywhere this year. They would proceed with my application only if I agreed on a number.

Because the market is hot, salaries are higher than ever. So of course they want to lead with the $$$ and lure you in.

Started a new job 7 months ago. There’s been a hiring freeze and it seems they canned the recruitment team. Things seems to be slowing down drastically in the span of a week. Getting the resume all spiffed up and getting interviews together. When do you make the exit? “When you find a job” I know, but…

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?

Bridge between Customer Support and Product Design?

Hiya! I am in the final round of interviews at an EdTech platform for a role that is the bridge between the Customer Support and UX/Product Design teams. I act as that bridge in my current role but on a more informal basis because it is a smaller company.

Would anyone be willing to share their perspective (positive or negative) on the Product/UX end of this relationship? I want to make sure to ask the right questions.
Thank you!

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
