When leaving a company, how does 401k transfer work. Is that initiated as part of exit process or do I need to do it before putting in resignation?

Hey all, 3rd party recruiter reached out to me about a job. We had interview which I think went well. I did not give my salary expectations, but the recruiter provided the hiring budget.

After sending resume, I am now being asked my current income. Seems expectation is ~20-25% comp increase when you change companies. Effectively it would be a promotion, but the budget would be significantly more than 25%.

Do I inflate my current comp? My wife said she had to find a paystub for her job.

Hello all,

What are your thoughts on this Google offer for L6? Competitive? What would you ask for?
Base: 180
Commission: 70% of Base
Equity: 190 over 4 years
Sign on: 15

Is the salary hike percentage solely based on Rank/rating ? Will there be any consideration for the qualification ?

Thank you!!

Hi Fishes, good day! I currently work for Oracle Cloud ERP, as a cloud Analyst ( 1 yoe ). Although, I want to move into cloud engineer/architect role.

Fellow gay fish. Thoughts on a PPO v HDHP (w/ HSA) for health insurance? I’ve always done the PPO with higher premiums because the high deductible scares me, especially with 4+ visits to PCP and lab draws, plus other STI testing. Anyone else have experience or advice on selecting between the two? I did some modeling and it seemed like the HDHP would be better but would love additional advice.

Recruiters - how do you know/how are you qualified to judge what good creative is? Do CD's tell you what they're looking for and/or the type of creative they're looking for?

Did I just open myself up to a lawsuit for employee poaching? A former colleague of mine (I was their mentor & project lead, not her boss) has been wanting to leave since around the time I left. In conversations as friends I’ve told them about my job and how I miss working with them and that no matter where they went next I’d be a reference and stay a mentor. I said things like the minute I can hire someone, you’ll be my first call… (continued in comments)

Is it ok to Ghost recruiters? The very pushy ones who email text and call before you can even reply plus when the gig they are offering sounds sketchy as it is?

Have anyone done contracting negotiations before? I've interviewed for co A & B and co A extended an offer today. The offer does not meet my current salary. Co B's interview structure is 3 rounds and I've finished my 2nd round today. The recruiter mentioned that since I am a contractor my current salary is incomparable as they will provide benefits, etc. Is this true? I have 2 yrs of contracting HR exp from fortunate 500 co’s & OMW to get my SHRM-CP. Appreciate your advice in advance.

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.

Is it ok to reach out and try to connect on LinkedIn with HR folks at agencies I'm interested in applying to, with an opening message? Do they generally reciprocate, find it annoying or ignore them?

Contact for a recruiter @ Hudson Rouge? 🙏🏼

Let me know if this sounds too entitled: I contact agency recruiters or CDs to meet in person because I’m flying myself to the city specifically to network/get a job?
