I have applied to 3 jobs recently wherein I have been asked supply them with my credit report and I can only use the link they provide, no report pulled from any other site will be accepted and I have to front the cost. Is this becoming a new thing? Has anyone else experienced this? I understand the philosophy behind background and/or credit checks, but usually the company will get a candidate's authorization and run it themselves during the interview process.

Please be careful. Sorry. This may be a scam. Especially if you did NOT yet receive a job offer and had to provide your SSN to the link they provided. You probably want to lock your credit at the three agencies to prevent identity fraud.

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience. Understanding that the degreed person committed to school and finished, yet that doesn't diminish what the not degreed has committed to and accomplished in their careers. This has to stop!

I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon

I recently did a job interview and I made it clear to the HR my expectation salary is 60k a year, non negotiable.

Should I accept the offer or renegotiate?
