I put in my two weeks and someone from HR is now asking for my new role and salary information. Has anyone else been asked this upon leaving? Seems like an odd question that isn’t really my now former employer’s business.

I wouldn’t share. The only question is have is are you willing to stay if the counter you? If yes, then maybe open up doors and ask HR why, etc. if no, then just say you wish not to disclose this info.

This unless the company you’re going to results in an independence issue

You’re under no obligation to share that info, they’re just fishing for a number to see how much more you’ll be getting, whether it’s too much for them to counteroffer, and if not - what’s the minimum amount they can offer you to match it + least possible amount they’re willing to offer above that to start negotiations to keep you.

Word to the wise - if they match - don’t take it. They’re gonna work you just as hard + room for extra to cover the new raise you forced, and things *won’t be any different.* Either negotiate further and make it worth your while, to stay there miserable, with the immediate leverage you have while you still have it, or take the new gig and at least have something different for yourself w/ a fresh start away from the built up negativity that’s dragging you down.

It’s also a factor in annual market increase portion of comp.

You can tell them, but add 10-20% of your current salary. Best case scenario they match it with the 20%, worse case scenario the company will start opening their purse to other employees.

I did that with a previous firm, and they were willing to counter with the 15 add on.

Congrats!

I just recently gave notice and was asked my new employer name by my business advisor who was handling my exit. I reassured her that it’s not a competitor or a client. I also did my due diligence and informed her that it’s also not a restricted entity. Let them know you prefer not to disclose if they keep pushing

It doesn’t matter if you’re going to a competitor, but in my situation I’m not.

That’s weird. I’d ask why they need that information. I don’t see any reason why you would be obligated to provide and I’d never optionally provide it.

Side note - do you have any non-competes signed with your firm? If so, would you be breaching those?

You gotta tell them the company but that’s about it. Don’t let big brother get you

So I recently started a position with Fox. When it was presented to me in interview, I was told I would be working aligned with Fox Sports & Entertainment, not so much News. Now that I’m here, I’m seeing everything I’ll be doing is with the News team & makes me uncomfortable. No diversity, outdated software & process.
Financially, it’s the best position I been in. But mentally in this environment, it’s depressing & slow. Nothing innovative or engaging. What would you do?

Considering jumping to a boutique SF consulting firm from Big 4. Comparable pay + equity, but of course it doesn’t have the cachet of a big 4. Think it’s worth the risk given the potential upside?

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
