I have no advice but to say saaaame!! I do the very same thing!! Good luck, I hope they get back to you soon.

Hahaha, that's sooo me. Especially if I think I did "great" and the interviewer told me to wait for an email within the day.

I usually distract myself with other things (hobbies, shopping, macrame) and say "Checking my email every now and then won't make it appear sooner."

Reposting this here from the compensation bowl a week back. I’m deep into the interview process at Apple and have managed to deflect salary expectations until now. This is for a PM role on their data product ops group. I have 6 yoe. Is 180-200k a fair base to ask for? I believe this would be for an ICT4 role. TIA

Hello,
I work in insurance but I am trying to pivot into tech sales. I am having trouble explaining my metrics during interviews. For us, our KPI is based on a quota issued to each state. Ex Ma being 143%. Throughout Ma, we have multiple offices but my office, in particular, is currently at 260% of quota. I have brought in 60,000 of sales for our team. Since I don't have a quato, how can I demonstrate my performance. Many thanks!!

Will this be a hire to fire case?

So I got promoted! Yay! BUT It was definitely on the earlier end: the job hasn’t lived up to expectations set in the interview and they did it so I wouldn’t leave. I’m still open to sr cw positions (the work just isn’t good at current gig) so should I not update my LinkedIn? I don’t want to limit myself to acd positions b/c I don’t have a book that lives up to it yet. Will recruiters not reach out about sr jobs if I update to acd/ places not think I’m serious about sr jobs if I apply as an acd?

So I'm interviewing, have had loose salary conversation (talked about band but not specifics), and approaching the official offer stage. It's become clear the role is something I'm very well qualified for, but their pay expectations for the role are much lower than mine. How do I ask if I could be considered for a higher level position in the team in a higher salary band instead?

For some context I went through my
final round with a potential employer a
little over a week ago. If the recruiter
said they'd provide me with an update
by Monday (today) and they did not
provide it yet, when should I reach out
and follow up?

I've just received a job offer and am happy with the package and salary. I think it's a fair offer - it's an indistry I haven't worked in before and also a great pay rise. However, should I still try and negotiate salary? I was told that you should always push for more, even if you're happy withe the offer. Thoughts?

I recently interviewed for a position that was below my salary requirements so the interviewer forwarded me a role that is inline with salary but quite a bit outside of my skill set (and interest, tbh). How do I politely reject the opportunity while keeping the door open to other roles more closely aligned with my career goals/interests?

I got a job offer for what seems to be a great company but I’m not sure if I would have the same life balance. I started interviewing as a way to see my worth in the industry. My current role is at a small company, and I’m not sure how I could grow within the role because Im not advancing my skill, I just do the same thing every day at a lower level. I like my current role because it’s flexible and I’m paid well for not doing very much work. Should I switch to a more rigorous job?
