Help? Been offered a business development role at GLG. I work in commercial banking.
Got 24 hours to respond. I am a finance analyst but offered a job in the team and wondering how hard do they go in on sales? They said no financial targets until year 2 but I’m sceptical.

I’ve never done sales before either and the job involves prospect and account mapping.
I was offered the job due to my transferable skills.
I will be in a small team of 4 but my role is the only business development position.

Sales is sales. You have to meet or exceed your targets. Get the no financial targets until year 2 part in writing. Out of curiosity how much time would you be comfortable with, to ramp up to having hard financial targets ?

Hi all, Noob question. When I am sourcing, I tend to find candidates who are a great fit but then wouldn’t work for 1 reason or another. for example. 3 months into their current role so the likely hood of wanting to move is low. What tools do you use to make a note of these otherwise perfect candidates? Do you have a spreadsheet? Do you use LinkedIn projects? Just keen to know best practices! Please share away 😊

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??
