Would you recommend EY to someone you care about? If not, be honest. HR may not care about you, but they use exit interviews to address recruiting and retention issues.

Ask for the reason tactfully, and see if there is an opportunity to sue them?! If not, be a man, show them you are happy to leave, be vicious about the bad apples! The industry is too big for you to care about word going around etc. if they have a grudge against you, they’ll screw you anyway. Also highlight the good people.

^have you read about the prisoner’s dillemma?

Hey Media Monks LDN. You’ve posted or reposted the same Sr. Creative role online for four months now.

Thinking of switching from sales to a sales engineering role. Biggest difference is going to be higher base (plus bonus) with no commission or quota to carry. Curious as to what is a fair salary in todays climate. We’re a series C fintech company based in NYC. I’m being considered for the role because I’m one of the strongest presenters on the team. It will still be in individual contributor role with supposed path to leadership. Curious the range as well as equity to expect/ask for.
