Does telling a recruiter you have other interviews help or hurt? I don’t want to look uncommitted, but I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket either. I’m just worried that if I do tell them, they’ll move on to other candidates instead. What's the best thing to do?

The recruiter already knows. They have a record of all the jobs you applied to.

I’ll mention it, but I keep it on the neutral side. Something like “Yes, I’m actively interviewing, but I’m really interested in this role.” In my experience, it hasn’t hurt, and sometimes it actually speeds things up. Recruiters know no one is applying to just one job.

I don’t think it’ll hurt because in truth, everyone that is looking for jobs will be interviewing with multiple companies. If anything, it shows that you’re more sought after so they’re truly interested, they will try to speed up the timeline for you. At least that is my experience.

It only comes up when the process is taking a while. I frame it as I’m very interested in this opportunity, but have others as well.

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.
