Personally, I'm still in the phase of learning all the things that I didn't know were "a thing." Career coaching? Didn't know that was a thing. Donor advised funds? Didn't know that was a thing. So I guess if anyone has anything they learned that is like, first-gens should really know about this, then that would be super helpful.

Another one of mine was reading the book "Set for Life" and other real-estate related books that taught me the different ways that people think about money.

I'm interviewing with KKR for a Principal role in their real estate group. All online salary resources are all in alignment with a total comp of $200k+.

Anyone have any direct knowledge or can speak to that group's comp?

I have an offer accepted from Elevance 125k (Anthem) and w a good team and seems that WLB would be ok. Also, Amazon hiring manager wants to interview me for a job. Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.

I recently had an interview with BNY for an Analyst role located in DE. The interview went well and I was informed by the recruiter that the team was interested. They asked if I was willing to relocate immediately, and I told him that my decision would be best made if I see an offer. I have not yet received a follow up after this(coming on two weeks) so I know that I've been ghosted. My question is, was I wrong to ask to see the offer before making a decision?

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.
