"Competitive salary" in a marketing job post is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Translation guide for the bowl:

"Competitive salary" = below market, but we hope you don't know that
"Fast-paced environment" = no processes, constant fire drills
"Strategic storyteller" = copywriter budget, brand director expectations
"Self-starter who thrives with autonomy" = no manager support, good luck

What's the red flag that made you close the tab immediately? 👇

lol i love these definitions!

Lmao this is actually real

Competitive salary sounds more like competition arising from multiple applicants than actual increase in offering

Hilarious, this is awesome. I’ve experienced the ‘fast paced’ one before personally

How much of a pay cut are you willing to take to (hopefully) re-find purpose in your job?

My Context: work in tech, company has HQ in the Bay but I live in Canada. Single, no kids, 1 mortgage, no debts.

TC: ~200k USD (60% base / 40% equity). I put very low effort, completely disengaged and unmotivated, with anxiety building up. Don’t like the company, but very few companies can match where I live

I’m being offered ~110k to work more, better title, fun project and company

What’s your story?

Interested in becoming a Google cloud product manager. Here are my observations on the experience you will need to be considered.

Here are my observations about the skills and experiences that PMs have and how people are joining that group.

They are all technical. All of them could easily be very technical cloud consultants or cloud engineers.
Tl/Dr. If you couldn't get hired as a cloud engineer or cloud consultant - you probably can't become a PM

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?
