I got a message from a recruiter this morning who has tried to recruit me before, but it just wasn’t the right timing for me. It doesn’t feel like good timing this time either as I’ve been with my current firm for less than a year after leaving industry, but the firm who has reached out would put me in a role where I got to focus on my area of expertise all the time without having to pick up projects in other areas if they can’t find other managers. What would you do?

Talk to the recruiter. Find out more abt the role, work, environment, co workers, pay, benefits, everything. Interview them as much as they you!! You may have the power to negotiate to make it a sweet deal for you. Then finally you can make the decision to move or not!

Not in the long run at all. It all depends on the story you develop and how you deliver it!

You may burn a bridge at your current firm, but not in the industry as a whole, and the pivot could very well be well worth it.

I went through two rounds of interviews for

should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
