I was rejected for a job as a Benefit Analyst because of my lack of compensation experience. I have always worked for larger companies that had a few people to manage only the compensation, and a person that managed the 401k, then a few people that handled the benefits. It was only during OE that we worked on a project together.
Can someone tell me what type of projects the Comp and Benefits work on together?
Can you suggestion a training I should looking into taking?

Sounds like they actually were looking for a Total Rewards person, not a benefits person. Don’t fret about that…they sent the wrong signal of what they needed.

As to training…hands-on is best, bot some online course. If currently employed, volunteer to help with Annual Merit Cycles and Bonus Payouts. Those tend to be opportunities to get involved in Compensation. Be sure to brush up on Excel skills (pivots, formulas, etc…) and be able to analyze/interpret large data sets.

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

Is it still possible to work for a start up app and retire from equity? I lean toward no, as each day passes. Thanks for your thoughts!!

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
