I’m applying for a role at my client. They opened a manager level position but I’m looking for a senior manager level exit. At what point in the interview process should I ask if they’re open to bringing me on as a senior manager? Early on, or if I already have an offer?

I would bring it up early in the process since you don’t want to come off as adding that requirement last minute which could potentially ruffle feathers of a client.

Hopefully they’re open to it but if not, I’d look to make it up in salary and go for the top of the manager band.

Thank you! That makes total sense

Forgot to mention, they specifically asked me to apply and have been chatting about the role with me for a little bit, it’s not like I just picked a random job to apply to

Hello! I joined a company in the UK 6 months ago, and received a £20,000 gross sign on bonus - clause associated to this however was that I stay for a minimum of 12 months. Unfortunately, the role is really proving to be the wrong fit, and I am looking to leave.

Question for you all - if I resign, I assume I would be expected to pay back the sign on bonus despite me only receiving approx 12k after tax. Anyone know the process for a tax clawback for something like this? Thanks in advance!

Today I messed up doing a delivery. The client was expecting the supplies at 3pm in the warehouse, however, there was an accident on the highway and traffic was insane. It slipped my mind to let them know about the delay. Now, they believe it was me being irresponsible and are threatening to fire me for not reporting on time and possible losing them a client. What can I do to fix the situation?
