How do you respond to recruiters that reach out to you on LinkedIn that provide vague descriptions and not even the company name . I don’t want to waste my time on phone calls. Can you even ask for compensation range in the first message? Sorry not super good at LinkedIn “etiquette”. Also an 2 YOE analyst in case that matters

Most won’t give you those details over a message. They have an incentive to get you on a phone call because it’s more likely you’ll get further along in the process and they’ll get their commission. If you don’t want to get on a call, they’ll most likely not respond to you. They’ll just follow up with other candidates willing to get on a quick call. Tbh you sound quite entitled lol, jobs don’t just fall into your lap

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?
