Much better shot of getting an interview with a referral. Everyone I’ve referred in the past has gotten an interview. After that it won’t matter - employee referral won’t determine whether you get an offer. Gotta nail your cases and fit questions for that

Recruiter reached out via LinkedIn. Process was fast. Waiting to hear back! Fingers crossed

Am I crazy to take a pay cut to “chase my dream”? Manager looking to leave Bain - I want to do corporate sustainability - I got an offer for a traditional corp strategy job at $195k base, $23k bonus (no longer-term incentives aka no equity / profit sharing), so similar to current comp except for NAP, but am hoping something sustainability-related comes through. Right now in talks for a sustainability director role that would be closer to $160k base / $20k bonus. (More in comments)

Have a chat with a recruiter coming up early next week around a Business Strategy Director role at Salesforce. Its in their Customer Success Group.

I am sure the recruiter is going to ask the “salary expectations” question so can anyone at Salesforce (past or present) tell me what the rough salary range for this role is ? Also, if you have any insight into the interview process, please let me know!

Thanks a bunch!

Hi guys, so a friend of mine has been head hunted for a job as a designer position for a interior design company. His current job is a good position which puts him on track to be creative director in 2 years. His current job is a great role, loves what he does but he’s not being paid as much as he should and he’s pretty curious about this other job offer. He’s thinking of going for a meeting with the other company. What kind of questions do you think should be asked in the meeting?
