Had a phone interview with a Booz recruiter about 3 weeks ago. Followed up twice with complete radio silence. Give up on it or follow up again?

Booz likes ghosting people imo. Shady recruiters that try to leverage their legacy reputation to shaft you in pay and recruiting experience if they don't really need you.

Recruiters that don’t close the loop (“we went with someone else” at least) give recruiters a bad name. Move on.

Hi All. I have a good job offer but I'm wondering whether I should negotiate comp. I made it clear from the beginning what my target for base comp was which is ~$10K over the top of the posted salary range for the job. I also said that I was comfortable proceeding with the interview process despite the top of that range being lower (somewhat weakening my position for later I suppose). The offer is at the very top of the range. Bonus is 5% less than what I get in my current job. Negotiate?

Wanting to apply to big 4s but I'm having a hard time updating my resume to tailor it to tax roles.

I know this is a stupid question. But how do I explain what I do for purposes of a resume? I primary work on 1120s with some international exposure to foreign filings. Since I'm at a small firm, I've essentially worked on every type of return (1040, 1041, 1065,1120s, PPTs) But I'd say 60% of my work is c corp and the other 40 is between all the others.

Haven't found anything useful online 😕
