I was contacted by a recruiter on behalf of a nonprofit seeking a remote executive director. Recruiter asked what my target salary is. According to 2020 990 info, the total annual revenue was $242,732, and total salary expenses was $150,448. On their website, there are four staff listed not including the ED. Their positions are: Director, Managing Director, Senior Editor, and Communications/Engagement Manager.

What is a reasonable target salary to respond to the recruiter with?

Hi Fishes,

I will be joining @Infosys consulting within a month. The CTC offered to me has a superannuation component attached to it and it is significant. The recruiter however mentioned that it is possible to reduce the amount of superannuation component from retiral section and add it to the in-hand part. If anyone has recently gone through the process, could you please guide me?@

How much does Amazon pay a Salesforce developer with 5 years of experience?

A new analyst has joined our team and we often give them models/ slides but don’t always ask them if they know all of the accounting principles to be able to make minute adjustments to EBITDA or free cash flow. We are a FIG platform, so the knowledge required is relatively unique as well and not as easy to google as corporate transactions. Is there a better way to coach the analyst short of just throwing them in the deep end to figure it out or should we wait for them to ask us for help?

I don’t go on Grindr often, but how come people that messaged me before know I’m online now? Like is there a setting to get notified or they are always monitoring my status? The second I get online, they started messaging me, it creeped me out.

Hi - does anyone know if US Consulates in Mexico are accepting Third Country Nationals (TCN) for visa stamping? H1B Renewal.

I am a Sales Support Engineer (Applications Engineer) with 2 YOE. I am thinking about making a change because my job is no longer challenging, and there isn’t much growth opportunity in my company. I love my team, but I feel like I may need to move on. I am at 70k a year and have been told time and time again that I have learned faster than anyone they have seen and am a top performer. I don’t feel like I am being compensated for that either. Any suggestions on companies and target salaries?

The potential new firm *seems* just as great, if not better. But, obvious emphasis on SEEMS.

What’s the tech like at Latham? Does the firm offer a tech stipend (monthly, annually, etc.) and/or pay for your phone? Do you use Lenovo for laptops and iPhones or something different? What about doc management - imanage, netdocs or something else?

Seems consensus is hard to come by on this bowl, so I'd like to do an experiment. Can everyone name the firm they consider to be the best pure quality firm (not culture, money, etc.)? Can be top quality firm overall, in a specific practice area, or geography.

Any firm in California still hiring junior Corporate M&A/PE associates?

How early will firms hire laterals? Currently a 1st year at Vault 5 firm (keeping it vague). My firms cultural is extremely toxic (0 mentorship opportunities, very low diversity, condescending associates, taboo to ask questions, etc.) - I know I don’t want to stay here long term so want to go somewhere else where I can start growing a network/reputation instead of wasting time here…
