Hi, what is the ideal salary bracket for a VP role at global Finance/Investment Banking MNCs? How to ask and qualify for an appropriate hike matching that level/ designation if currently at 20L+ range?

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!

Any recommendations for recruiters? NY RR second year. I prefer to stay in NY.

Anyone recently got their PERM approved - how long did it take? The USCIS website shows the avg. Duration is down to 3-4 months now!!

I have an annual membership to tryexponent for FAANG and tech prep. I don’t need the membership anymore and have about 6-8 months. I can share my creds for $60. The content was extremely helpful, I made it to Amazon. Let me know if anyone’s interested

For the foodies out there, post pics of your creations during quarantine! :)

Any book recommendations on change management?

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role. Does anyone have any tips on virtual interviews and how to gauge the culture of the firm and if it really will be a good fit for you? I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

Hey all, new to this bowl. Currently a Tech Recruiter and eventually want to make the transition into a HRBP or HR Generalist role. Would love to hear from anyone who started in recruiting then transitioned into another area of HR. Have been thinking of either working on PHR certification or MBA with focus in HR mgt. Thanks!

I don’t know what’s going so wrong.

I have applied to 42 jobs and received 20 rejections, with 0 opportunities to even interview.

My resume is from WSO template, and I used suggested wording from various popular resume websites.

I don’t understand why I’ve gotten such a large amount of rejections. Am I applying to position in under or over qualified for? Does my resume suck? Is it just a bad time to apply? How do I improve from here?

Any art directors/sr designers who have successfully pivoted out of a creative role and into something else? Ive been working in visual design for 10 years and I am BORED but have no idea what i could be doing instead. The politics and subjectivity of doing corporate creative work has left me feeling drained. I never want to have another conversation about making something 10 pixels bigger. Tell me how you got out, im desperate for inspiration.

My friend and I (both Asian and gay) were seating at the cafe on the 2nd floor of Saks Fifth Ave today waiting for our table for the restaurant on the 9th floor. A lady came and asked where are we from, and “why are you two men in this mall? This is for female only”. I said this mall sells products for all genders. She said she has walked all floors and never saw a thing for men. Then she threw curse at me. I stood up and asked her to repeat what she said. She pulled her phone and called 911

Hi fishes,

When discussing a first technical interview with a recruiter how much time do you ask them to give you for preparing for the interview?

Soon to be graduating from an MBA, and won't be able to attend a graduation ceremony or grad party - is it something life changing that I'll be missing out on?

Outside counsel has been prepping company witnesses for a trial in August. It is my subject area so I am supervising outside counsel. I did not, however, choose the counsel. He is doing a really awful job. Co counsel is better, but not great either. Higher ups love the firm… I do not want to micromanage, but I have genuine concerns about outside counsel’s ability to try this case. Trials are rare, and I just don’t think these guys have actually tried many cases. Cont. below…
