Hello friends. I got a second interview for a Rate Analyst position that, from my research, averages ~90,000 per year. However, I also saw an average of 63,000 on Glassdoor. The job description says 1-3 years experience, I have one year experience and currently earn 62,000 in my first job out of college. I don’t want to be outrageous, would asking for 90k be the wrong move? I plan on asking how much they have budgeted for the position prior to floating a number.

I don’t know how it works for your role specifically but in my experience Glassdoor salaries are often lower than the reality.

Having said that, I work in big tech which generally means my comp is on the high end. I’ve interviewed a lot of places, given my minimum (sometimes that’s my current comp) that’s wildly over what they can afford. That’s okay, it just means it wasn’t the right fit and it’s a good thing we learned that early on.

Give your number. If they can’t afford it, they can’t afford it. All that means is that particular company isn’t paying top of market (assuming your research is correct).

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

Just got an interview call for Telecom consultant role in Infosys.

HR asked for video interview and I dont mind that. I replied the HR that panel also puts on their web cam. It's not a healthy way to communicate during inteview when panel remains on audio (and perhaps in their shorts and baniyan ) :D

And interviewing the candidate wearing formals.
