Hi all, wondering if any recruiters can offer advice about the following: current job is miserable and want to leave immediately even though I don’t have another opportunity lined up yet . There’d be gap on my resume between positions- would the gap on my resume be a red flag?

**should’ve said : even though I haven’t started applying to other opportunities yet

If you are OK financially then you should consider leaving since there is no more joy in your role.
Careers gaps are acceptable in todays context. If queried just be honest and said you needed a career break.
Red flags are usually raised if there is a recurring pattern of gaps.
Good luck 🤞

My company historically paid base comp and bonus based on years out of law school. Level 1 is 1-9, and Level 2 is 10+. Diff if $50k+, easily. My team’s work isn’t distributed any differently based on seniority, and we’re all doing the same subject matter. We have a new GC changing it so bonus can be higher (but not lower) if you take on more work.

Do you think this is a fair system? Is it right to push for equal comp, especially given that there’s a new reward system for doing more work?

I am interviewing for a new IT Manager position. I started putting out soft feelers and then hit the hunt harder. The problem: I have one offer and need to give an answer by next Wednesday. I have two other opportunities that are in final steps but probably won’t have offers by next Wednesday. Both of the other offers will be higher pay but clearly are uncertain for offers. Do I accept the offer I have, which is a good one or wait for the other two to finalize and possibly miss out altogether?

Suppose you are 3 months pregnant and interviewing for a job. Would you disclose to the recruiter that you are expecting or is there no need to give that information until after being hired? As for the compensation, if you’ve already been told pre-interview, the salary range for the role, is it appropriate to negotiate a number for the salary if you are asked your desired salary in the first screening interview? Or should you try to hold off on the negotiation after you receive an offer?
