Once, after I was flown to another state for my final interview. I said no because their salary was too low (they never asked before flying me there). VP panicked and went to ask HR what they could max offer me. Came back a decent bit higher, saying it was max. I left and said to contact me if they could go higher, just to make sure they had maxed out. Got an email while on the flight home with the written offer and it was max.

Not since I interviewed at Wendy’s

Yeah. Twice. Both times the CCO told the recruiter to hire me directly after speaking with me, once in my hearing and once out of it but the recruiter told me while I was still there. It’s nice because you have all the power in the negotiations. It sucks because there’s a reason they need someone so badly.

Yeah. Turned out there was a reason. And not a good one. Hope it genuinely was a dream situation for you but do your research and trust your gut here. Most places would never do that unless they have to.

Yep!

Happened twice but back in my intern days. Does that count?

I did. Cco offered me the job right on the spot. Wish I had bargained better at the time

Yeah! It was great. I walked into Abercrombie and Fitch, had a group interview (was the only one there) and got the job! They ended up closing the store 2 week’s later 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?

General Question I started tuition reimbursement last year in August. I since have an interview with another job that is paying a lot more. You know how you apply to something not really thinking that job would call back? Should I get an offer, what do I do about tuition Reimbursement? Do they send a check and tell me to pay it? Do they take it out of my 401k? I know a lot of people will say I never shouldve applied but I didn't think too much about actually get a call back when I applied.

Hi Fishes,
I recently got shortlisted for a Product Manager position at Tracxn. There’s also an IPO coming up which is the reason I had applied.
But I have read some horrifying reviews about the company on Glassdoor, indeed and other forums.

Thanks.
