Do companies who are overstaffed keep making interviews or do they stop? With all the doom I have been reading, I am beginning to think my upcoming interviews with T2 firms are not going to amount to much 😅

Consulting firms usually don’t waste time interviewing if there’s not a current need for the position. A lot less hierarchy compared to a F500.

The partners in a group know if they need people if so they interview

We’re hiring thousands of analysts based on our strategy, demand pipeline, current staffing, and expected attrition. We’re not hiring someone specifically to fill a role at a single client.

But with any large firm, when the strategy/demand shifts there might be some delay between when the decision is made and when a specific position is closed

Hi there! I interview for a position with a planned Parenthood this week for a role as Special Events Manager to oversee their fundraising department. Because most of my work and experience has been in freelance. I’m having a hard time figuring out what my work experience translates to in a Salary position.

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?

I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.
