You’ve gone this far, might as well see what type of offer they put together to understand your market, but can tell them at that point that you’re not interested. If they reach out before they pull together offer them tell them then out of professional courtesy.

Well I know their offer is still not the best option since the recruiter gave me a band range and even that was 15-20k below market. Just more than what I am paid now.

Probably better to wait and let them make the decision re offer and then reject it - no need to burn any bridges for something that has a pretty easy out. Just don’t drag out the post offer process

Makes sense! Thank you

Is it okay to email the recruiter to withdraw my application? Or wait until I get an offer/get rejected? Even if I got an offer, I still won’t accept it.

You’ve come this far, I’d wait out the offer to see what it looks like then politely decline. Director w bad vibe could be gone in a month who knows. Always keep a door propped open if possible.

What was the bad vibe?

The interviewer wasn’t mean or tough, just very straight forward. No interpersonal skills, etc. I’ve done a lot of interviews and that was the worst so far. I will be working under that person’s practice so most likely will be working close together.

What was the practice?

I cleared all my rounds of interview in JPMC, had salary discussion with HR 2 weeks back. After which i was asked to apply the job on candidate portal and submit additional information.

I had a call with a recruiter at BCG towards the end of last week. I went to check the job description for the role on the careers website and it’s not there anymore.

The role is still listed on LinkedIn but when I click apply it takes me to the BCG careers page with the note saying the role has been filled

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

When calculating YOE, if you are working 2 jobs, can you double count those years? For reference, I’ve been an Army Reserves officer for the last 5 years since coming off active duty, and spend about 30-40 hours per month (outside of 2-4 week annual training) on that job. So it’s not like driving Uber, it’s a high stress/very involved job. Technically I have 7 years Active Army + 5 years D + 5 Years reserves if I count them. Don’t know if there’s any practical reason just curious peoples opinion
