Hi ladies, I need some advice here:
Recruiter reached out asking what I’m looking for in terms of salary (prior to any interviews) for a role that’s a higher title. Recruiter followed with a salary $X that the role is currently offering. The market has a wide range. Their current salary amount falls about the lower third of market range (smaller agency). What would you do? I’d love to interview but don’t want be bound by anything I say at this stage.

General rule of thumb: look in the mirror and start at the minimum you’d consider. Increase that by 1k-5k increments OUT LOUD until you start giggling at yourself.

The giggle number is what you are actually worth.

I want to switch markets transfer to my current firm’s office in that city. But lateral market is hot and bonuses are generous. Anybody heard of your current firm matching competing lateral bonuses so that they can keep you as an internal lateral? Or will firms match lateral bonus offers even if you aren’t moving cities in an attempt to keep you at the firm?

Hi everyone,

I appeared in L2 round of Capgemini recently.
Just after the intro first question they asked me " Do you have any offer and amount?" This question was asked in technical round.
I'm sure that guy wasn't a Manager.

I don't think he know how to take an interview.

Even after creating 2 asked program and answering 80% of their questions correctly.
Got rejected.
Didn't expect this kind of L2 round from Capgemini.

I recently got a BDR offer at a top technology company for sales at NYC. My base is 60k, OTE is 85k, Stock is 25k (vested over 4 years), and a signing bonus of 5K. I should also mention that I have uncapped commissions. I really don’t know if this is a a good offer or not. Can someone please shed some light on this?

It makes me feel like I'm making it about me vs. them, which is not what I want to do at all. On the contrary, I want them to enjoy whatever I treat them to, but this is all backfiring because I can't control my emotions.
