I asked about pay during an interview and could feel the tone shift immediately. Like I said something wrong. Are we still pretending salary isn’t the whole reason we’re here?

Some managers really want you to pretend that you want to work because it's your hobby. I'm not going to play that game.

It’s surprising how the tone can shift when salary comes up. We’re all here to earn a living, so why not be open about it? Having that conversation is crucial and should be part of the process.

I am currently a biomedical engineer at @U.S. Food and Drug Administration with over two years of experience. I would like to hear everyone's experience navigating the GS increase (salary raise) as a government employee. Here are some questions for discussion. How long did it take you to be promoted to the next pay grade? What do you think contributed the most to that salary increase? If you transitioned into the private sector, what drove you to make this decision? Thanks!

I worked in PwC for 1.5 years and the moved to Oracle on last July with 50% hike(CCTC is 14.5LPA). I was hired for Application Developer 2 but often I’m getting QA work and I don’t like this job. So looking for a change.

I was interviewed in Aruba Networks ( a HPE subsidiary ). If I clear the interview, how much CTC I can expect ?
Total experience: ~2 years
