If I’ve been at my current job for about 3 months, should I keep it on my resume when applying elsewhere or leave it off?

If you can explain the gap, leave it off. But consider how a short stay could be relevant to your narrative. “It took me three months to realize that a giant company was not for me” is fine if you’re applying to places that are smaller. “It took me three months to figure out that 100% remote is not for me but I tried to give it a fair shake” is fine if you’re applying to places that want you in the office.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

If you’re full-time at an agency but looking for additional work as a freelancer, do you say you’re currently working at said agency during an interview for a possible freelance gig? I’ve had an instance where they said they can’t hire someone at another agency due to a conflict of interest. I love my current gig, so going freelance FT isn’t an option. What would you do in a situation like this? Is there a workaround, as it’s typically ghostwriting anyway with zero by-lines?
