Hey recruiters! I just got a job offer and I negotiated and they came up a little but still too low. I know the market is so tough right now. Should I take it and be grateful for a job or risk negotiating one more time?

To me it is more about you than others. I think negotiating once is expected, but twice it is difficult that they'll make better than the first time. Ultimately it depends on how important this job is for you and what real alternatives you have. If you have alternatives or you are not pressured to accept, and the offer does not satisfy you, I suggest you do not accept, it will not be worth the effort.

Congrats! You can politely make one final case with data and your value, but if they can’t move, weigh the role’s growth and stability against the pay.

Hi everyone!

After years of hard work, I just got my first position in a leadership role! Yay! I’ll be leading a team of 12.
I wanted to know if you had any tips for me, things you wish you knew before, or things previous leaders did for/to you that you found admirable or stayed with you. I want to make sure I’m there for them and want to be a leader they will remember positively.

Thank you so much!!

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?
