Anyone able to give me a referral for Facebook (Meta) or Google?
I am a paralegal with 8 years of experience in the legal industry (+ Fortune 500). I was just diagnosed with a serious health condition and I’m looking for new remote position, that is challenging and offering high pay and benefits. Facebook (Meta) & Google currently have openings for positions that align with my skills. I kind ask that you simply share some tips, if you are unable to offer a referral. THANKS!
Hello, I have received an offer from Southwest Airlines as a Associate Technology Analyst with their direct college hire program. Will be graduating in May with a degree in MIS and also have internships experience as a Business Systems analyst intern. The salary compensation started off at 66,500 but was looking for the 75k range and they got back to me saying the best they can do is 68,500. They also have a 401k company match up to 9.3%. Do you think this is a solid offer for this job market?

Any 1 page resume template recommendations?
Make $120k Accenture now doing tech implementations, just got offer 200k TC EY business consulting. I love my job, have a great WLB (working 20 hours per week, no travel, clear path to M in about 1.5 years) - am I an idiot for even contemplating staying? What I would be doing is more PPT/functional vs Onestream/technical which I do now.

What % of that is cash vs equity? I’d be pretty nervous taking an overall comp cut at a startup. They likely will never match cash, but I’d at least want equity that takes me well over my current comp to account for risk.
I made the opposite move recently from startup to Big 4 and would caution you to think about the total comp + benefits carefully depending on your life circumstances. Startups typically won’t increase cash or provide bonus and have worse or non-existent benefits and retirement. Make sure to check those items and at least get the appropriate value in equity to balance it out. Otherwise, you don’t get any upside in the startup, only the downside of a smaller/less mature firm.
Startups are not always bad given the pseudo work life balance at big 4s. Contribution in small firm results in growth faster than big4. I have seen successful people quitting big tech n big 4 for startups, given they had passion nd claim their value n respect in real market.
Another important piece of info i learned today.... Paternity leave is only 2 weeks. D's is 16 weeks. That's a benefit I'm def going to use soon. That may have sealed the deal as a no to moving.
Appreciate both thoughts thanks
It's all cash no equity, but there are some stock options that the hiring manager hasn't been clear on. Good call, I'll get clarity on that in the offer.
Guess it depends on your risk tolerance. You could join a start up and never have a path to promotion. Hell, the whole start up could go bust or they could sell it (although you’d get pulled in or severance). Anyway, my point is there is a lot more risk in working for a start up depending on how well it’s competing in its respective market. You should make sure to ask what the founders goals are and where they’re hope to take the start up in the next few years. You could also ask about growth opps and what future roles could look like at the company
The hiring manager (my future boss) was very bullish about growth of company and opps for career growth.
So you are moving from $183k TC (Base and Bonus) at D to $180k TC at startup (Base only, no bonus/equity)?
Got it, so essentially your old TC is your new base…I’d be a bit concerned about the no equity for two years, part of the attractiveness of startup is the equity and the potential to make money if they exit…waiting two years to see if you will get any equity would be a dealbreaker for me
