For people who make the jump from USA to Europe, did you use the same resume you used in the US or did you adopt a more European style CV? Does this matter as much if applying to a multinational firm or in the Corporate Finance field? Thanks!

As a “European”, What is a European style cv?

Yes. Photos common in France. Not in the UK.

You definitely need to look at the CV style for a particular country. Differences can be big but also more subtle.

There is no European CV style.

Thanks! I'll definitely be looking for country-specific examples.

Yes. Having a picture larger than one page is questionable.

I considered going poster-sized, but thought that might be a bit much.

Please help 🙏 Has anyone done human/employee due diligence before?

How does one does this in practice? What types of questions should I be asking given I don’t have domain expertise in all these areas, and what does an final output/deliverable look like? It’s like 50 people.

I received a job offer for a PM position with a base of $125K and a 10% bonus, fully remote and ok benefits. The parental leave is pretty bad, just FMLA and STD/LTD so the most I’d get is 60% of my salary for 12 weeks. I’ve cancelled most of my interviews except for one where the pay is $135K, 20% bonus, hybrid schedule, good benefits and 16 weeks fully paid parental leave. I’d like to start my family in a year or two - is it better to take the remote gig or the hybrid role with full paid leave?

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?

Im 35. Considering to start investing in Real Estate this year. Looking to buy 1 property to start generating cash flow, but most importantly, long term equity. No plans to sell. Condo or Single family residence. Considering booming areas like Austin, Vegas or somewhere with potential to grow. Will need local help, since I don’t live there (realtor + property manager). Already have 20% down, but considering putting less. All closing fees are also covered. Is this a good idea or should just wait?
