Been on the hunt for about a year for a more uplifting position that better fits my broad range of skillsets. In this time I have applied for easily 150 positions. Most recently one for an experiential agency that truly checked every box. Only to receive the "no thanks" email after 9 weeks, 2 interviews and multiple ghosted emails and messages. Dear Job Market - do better. Sincerely a very disappointed Creative Professional

Thinking about asking for 46K, new cellphone and official title change. I'm expecting some negotiating, which I've never done. 24F, AA Bus Admin, and overall good employee

Can anyone help me wrap my head around this post Series C start-up equity offer? It’s an IP director position, the the base is $170 with 10% bonus (both lower than I was expecting). There’s also an equity component: 0.15% of current fully diluted equity. This equates to about 30000 shares at a strike price of $2. They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.
