I haven’t heard of many undergrads negotiations unless they’re applying for positions in which they have tangible experience (i.e. Programming, analytics, etc.). I was an undergrad hire and felt like I was paid adequately out of school considering I had no experience at all lol

like

Generally they won’t have much to negotiate. Base and bonus, if they offer, are likely set by city/school. They may be able to negotiate sign on bonus, relo, vacation (not as likely), start date, or maybe something creative

like

depends on where, but even boutique consultancies have scaled pay/benefits and set start dates. if it’s a mass start date with a cohort of peers, there will be little room if any for negotiation.

I had the same situation, I managed to get 10k more by switching job titles plus a 7.5k bonus.

Heyy fishes. Can anyone refer some BA intern or a reference as I'm a fresher when related to BA. All my experience is in marketing.

Do any carriers in Europe pay salaries equal to their American counterparts? I’ve found that the salary for my role is pretty much halved across the Atlantic.

I know that my company, Chubb, does and from time to time they have rotational programs where not only do you maintain your US salary but you also get COLA and a housing allowance, unfortunately nothing right now nor permanent.

Another option would be insurance companies that pay your American salary while working abroad.

Any leads?

I will be doing someheavy recruiting for Product Managers. Having a hard time with the existing team to persuade them that the uniqorns they are looking for dont exist. They are fixated that unless someone does not know to work agile or have tech specific experience they dont want to see them. Some of the questions also they have for candidates are an imitation of big corp companies like google, facebook etc. I am a big advocate on giving chances and trying to get through to them. Any ideas?

On days when I don’t have a full workload, it’s very (I think way too) easy for me to blow off the entire day either reading news/social media and doing other things not relevant to work. I also have a habit of wanting to focus on anything but what I need to get done. Can anyone relate to either or both of these and possibly a sign of ADD/ADHD? I have an appt with my primary care doc next week but been curious about this tendency of mine for awhile.

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?
