I have applied to 5 roles with a particular company over the past 2 years, but have never even gotten an interview. I'm more than qualified for the roles, however it's a different industry than I currently work in. I've tried networking with people at the company with no luck. Would you keep applying for roles with this company or move on?

It took me 5 years of actively applying at Microsoft before finally getting hired, and that's with a ton of direct experience.

Keep trying, but explore other options.

I'd move on, at least for now. There's no point continuing to bang your head against a wall, especially since it's in a different industry. If you really want to work there, I'd try to find a job in that industry first, do it for a few years, and then try again.

I would move on. Five tries with zero traction tells you everything about their process.

I'll be applying for a Service Desk manager position in the coming months. I'm looking to get a realistic salary range (online ranges vary drastically). I have 7 years experience in IT end user support. 4 years of these 7 years include having direct reporting employees in a supervisory role.

Finished my loop for a marketing role 2 weeks ago, and got an email the next day that they wanted to give me an offer. Had my initial call with recruiter to put the offer together. It was lower than I expected, and we ended that call positively as I needed some time to consider, and we agreed to follow up in a few days. It’s now been a week and both recruiters have been unresponsive. Did I just lose this offer bc I tried to negotiate a more equitable comp pack, or is it a slow process?

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment. We got a faint positive today but have had so many chemical pregnancies over the past year that I am not confident it will stick this time BUT I am on aspirin and progesterone for this try … so it could.. I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?

Maybe it’s too late in the year now, but it’s asking me to pick my desired contribution % per pay period, but I’m not sure how much to do because it says it’ll kick in 1-2 pay cycles and I don’t even know when the next pay check comes yet. Any tips would be great
