I feel like a total fraud, even though I just negotiated a massive raise. I look around the room and see people who seem much smarter than me, and I’m just waiting for the day management realizes they made a mistake. Imposter syndrome is real, and it’s especially bad when you get a pay bump that makes you feel like you need to be perfect all the time. Does the feeling ever go away as you climb the ladder?

BCG🐠 how long is the cool off period for a fresh application if I didn't get to the interview stage?

Hi!

I recently did a job interview and I made it clear to the HR my expectation salary is 60k a year, non negotiable.
Today I got the job offer and they are offering me 54k. My current company is making me 50k with tons of benefits which is why I am asking for 60k.

Should I accept the offer or renegotiate?

Minor confession

I hate when I respond to a post and people keep responding to it by NOT “replying” but adding another comment. 🤡

Has Pfizer done away with Assoc. Director roles in favor of Sr. Manager roles?

I was recently hired by my dream agency. I get creative freedom, flexible hours, and I can work from home if I feel like it. Always keep looking for better opportunities, you never know when one might show up!

Any Sales Leaders doing any of the following with their sales teams?

- Entering a new market.
- Entering an old market with a new product.
- Trying to focus sales efforts onto one objective.

I’m putting together a beta program that was successful for my current company and I want to see if it will help other leaders.

Let me know if this interests you below. Thanks!

I applied through a referral at Deloitte advisory, but it’s been a while. I had a recruiter reach out for Deloitte Advisory, would the recruiter help at all? Or would it just be a waiting game for the referral?

I have master in tax, CPA and four years of tax experience in mid tier and I want to apply to IRS. Does anyone know which level I should apply for? GS 11? GS12?

This may already be answered, but are embassies open for h1b stamping on India??. I am getting conflicting reports from my friends. TIA .

I prepared a presentation for an interview with a sales leader, it went well and I was offered a final interview with regional manager. The sales leader I interviewed with gave me a bunch of feedback, but said to find out information about tech stack, which I for some reason, didn’t consider. I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?

Question for the old timers. What was it like when the ad industry was doing really well?

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
