The only thing I’ve ever needed from an in-house client was last 4 of a social which felt odd to me and I asked the client for an explaination and they said it was for applicant tracking, I asked if we could provide an alternative number and they said fine.

Otherwise social shouldn’t be ever needed unless it’s a background check.

I’d just ask for more info about why they need it, not working with them or blindly handing it over shouldn’t be your only options.

Yes. They got me a fantastic interview and made it to the final round with a large company. They’ve been around forever but are horrible if you’re a junior bc they ignore you but great as a partner or midlevel to senior associate

Why would they need your SSN? I've worked with a couple of recruiters and have never been asked to provide that.

I have a 25K loan from my MBA. I paid off 100k whole, after graduation. 3 years ago, I moved my loan from federal to private ( SOFI) account. I recently lost my job. I have applied for unemployment, as the severance that I received will only cover for 2 months. Together my husband and I used to make less than 250k after tax. Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?

Hi new here. Idk what my value is and if I’m getting paid an amount that reflects my hard work. I am a paralegal for a small law firm (family and immigration) w only 1 attorney. I have about 20 files or more in my rotation at a time. I work on various types of cases at once. Some are simple, others are extensive. I feel like it’s very unstructured and one of the managers micromanages. It’s like every man for himself. Take home pay is $50k. I am working on my bachelors deg. Do I get paid enough?
