I just saw a great job opening, but it's been online for a long time. Does the fact that the post is still up mean the job is open, or is it a common sign that the position is probably already filled?

A common sign that something is going on with it. Whether it’s filled, a ghost job, or who knows what is up for debate. I still apply to them on occasion, though.

That's generally not a good sign. Sometimes listings just get forgotten, companies forget to take them down. So while it may be a waste of your time to apply, if it's something really interesting you might as well submit your resume and see what happens. The worst that can happen is nothing happens.

I’m having a hard time understanding the salary /TC ranges for mid- to senior-level strategy positions in the Denver area (10-15 YOE). They seem to vary a lot, and are broadly low vs. other markets (mid $100k-low $200k vs TC closer to $300-$400k+ on the coasts). Any observations? Which companies would you look at for more substantial comp outside consulting?

Anyone in Boston want these books? You can have them for free if you come pick them up in the north end. For anyone wondering why I have the LSAT prep tests, they are good practice for critical reasoning and reading comprehension.
