I applied and had initial phone screen with my resume showing current for my last role. A few days after, my position was eliminated. I was right to be searching! I wasn’t asked and didn’t bring it up in interviews, but I spoke about the job in past tense and sent a thanks email with updated resume attached showing the end date. The difference is under 3 weeks of a discrepancy. Do you think I need to proactively address this before a background check? How to frame it? Don’t want to look suss.

No need to proactively address it. If it comes up for whatever reason just explain as you did above- your previous role was eliminated in between your interview rounds. Nothing suss about that

Thank you! I’m just anxious because this is a phenomenal opportunity and I don’t want anything to jeopardize it. I’ll wait and see if it gets brought up. My references know I’m not employed and my LinkedIn is updated so it definitely isn’t a secret, it just genuinely didn’t come up in this interview process yet.

No, and to be honest I would not have even brought it up.

I haven’t brought it up yet, and won’t unless I’m asked about it. I’m sure I’m worrying for nothing. But it’s just a weird timing situation and I’d hate for anyone to think I was being dodgy when I just didn’t want to put the cart before the horse or undermine my negotiating power.

With the date being so soon and it being verifiable, I wouldn’t worry much about it. As long as everything is/was accurate when you hit the submit, that’s all that matters.

Thanx for the reassurance! It’s a difference of one month on paper but really across only 2 weeks. I’ll be sure to update here with the end result, so anyone who finds themselves in a similarly weird situation can hopefully find this post and read the advice.

That’s what I’ve decided to do. Anxiety though lol. This market is so wild, I second third and forth guess everything I hate it.

I would not worry about it. Since the time you applied you were employed there.

What's the best form of compensation to ask for and why?

My employers' CEO just announced that they just received $7 million from investors. He wants to use that money to offer incentives to employees that hussle and drive more revenue for the company. We're not sure what those incentives look like yet, but here are some post-announcement rumors from my co-workers:

Cash bonuses, raises, profit-sharing, company equity, 401k match, etc.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
