If companies are actually looking for good resources, then they should stop to talk about current/expected salary at the initial stages.

You're absolutely right that companies should bring up salary early on, just to avoid wasting time talking to someone who will never accept what they're offering. But hiring managers often think they can avoid that and just get people to play along. On the other side, if the potential employer is being coy about the salary, the job candidate should bring it up. If what's being offered is unacceptable, it's better to know that right away so you can move on.

Yes! It’s so frustrating. I just want to be seen for what I can do, not boxed in by numbers right away. How do you usually handle it?

Completely agree. I make a point to bring up salary during the first interview or recruiter call. I don't get why companies treat salary ranges like some top-level government secret. I don't want to waste my time, and I don't want to waste theirs. Tell me this information from the start so I know whether or not I should continue with the interview process.

Since it's EOY, it should be fun to compare notes on our our past investments, in terms of returns and strategies, to help us in the new year ahead.

So here I start with mine: From early last year around the start of the pandemic to today, I have grown my investment (cash + IRAs) from about $1M to about $3.4M today. My Fidelity chart below:

I wonder how many here are doing better, or similar, or worse than this. How's your overall investment doing, and what your chart looks like?

There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
