I really like my current gig. Great salary, solid work, and the people are actually nice. Problem is, leadership is kind of meh from a creative learning stand point. Is it weird to reach out to a creative I admire and offer to buy them a coffee or beer to have a chat. Not asking for a job, just looking for some mentorship.

Good idea!

Back when I moved to LA I wanted to know more about filmmaking, so I started to reach out to people in the industry just to hear about their journey and perspective.

Out of all the people who I reached out to, only one person said no. Go for it, you’d be surprised how many people would be glad to chat with you!

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.

Hi Fishes, Y.O.E 7.5+ years. Tata Consultancy TCS is offering 25LPA including variable pay and everything. So just 15% increment on my current salary since they mentioned I am leaving my current organization within 1 year.

They mentioned 8-12% is VP plus 80k from that salary is paid at the end of each year. Is it a good enough salary for 7.5+ yoe candidate. Also any heads up for the things I should look out for will be really helpful.

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.

Do you guys list things you did on your resume, or just titles & agencies? Been at this for 8 years and feel like each job, while different, had me do the same stuff we all know. Feels redundant?

Take a senior position with low pay or a mid-level position with possibly the same pay or slightly more and a title review at 6 months? Both great opportunities.
