Internal recruiter or headhunter? If the former, you may have been vetted or recommended. If the latter, it likely is a fishing expedition.

Director level in industry often aligns to business division management in consulting. 7+ years of experience sounds right. You're not expected to operate alone - you'll have both oversight and a team (or teams) to define the plan and execute.

The reality is that you have a lot more experience than people who grew up in industry and a better understanding of internal politics than someone who only grew up in consulting. Additionally, you'll be leaning on your consulting background (including consultants) to feed you ideas and provide advice. Which is why your firm will encourage you to take the job - they want you to turn around and let them make you look good.

Hi ,

I have 5 years of experience as a .NET Full stack developer. I am holding offer of 21 LPA and I had HR discussion with Mastercard.

HR is not ready to share the exact budget they have (weird!! because HR usually give the idea of how much they can offer )

HR is asking me to expect something on top of the current offer I am holding.

The opening is for L8. How much offer I should expect from mastercard??

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

Hello everyone !
I just graduated and I have made it pass the third interview which was a two part working interview that I will receive compensation for. I have BS degree in healthcare professions and wanted to know if 40k is too low of salary to start off as a compliance officer for a pharmacy that provides discounted medications. My first 3 months will be training for my position but I will be paid the same. The job hasn’t offered me a dollar amount yet and I want to be best prepared.
