How do you deal with conversations where a recruiter asks you how much that you want to make in the role and is it better to aim high or take a reasonable salary? I got asked it in an interview and I said the salary that I saw for a consultant at Crowe but it is a lot lower than what I want. Any advice?

Whenever ive given a number that was within the range but on the higher end, they either ghosted me or told me it was out of budget. Just say im open to discussion and negotiate once they send you the initial offer letter

This. I’m finding more and more that strategically it makes more sense not to give a number up front. I’ve been saying “market rate” lately and that’s been working.

If you have an opposing view, why delete your comments? If you have your belief then stand up for them, but don’t be afraid to admit you’re wrong. What’s unraveling with the details around the Breonna Taylor case is what has been experienced many times over now, which is that police tampered with evidence for a different outcome. It’s time conservatives come to the table and admit this is wrong and they were wrong for defending bad police who abuse the system. Deleting your comments is telling.

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience.

Anyone have experience between choosing between an Industry position or making the final push (manager/SM level) for partner? How did you finally decide to go one way or the other and do you have any regrets?

I think I want to try someone new, and have an offer, but am having a bit of paralysis in making the move knowing the income/ partner lifestyle that I could be passing up…

Open to any thoughts and advice.
