Are there any Deloitte penetration testers or managers over the Pentesting team in here? I found a role and I was trying to connect to the right person to help increase my chances of getting viewed for the role and be the lucky winner. Feel free to DM me, I am also prior Deloitte in the Cyber GPS offering. Deloitte
So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?

Thinking of leaving audit after my second busy season . My main interest in accounting was always the forensic line but got recruited for audit. Now I feel this is the best time to transition. Any advice for someone who wants to start with CPE route instead of CPA (did it a couple of time and did not pass) seeing it as a sign to go for my main interest. Also do I look for position as senior or just Associate. PwC EY KPMG Deloitte

It never hurts to ask for what you want. The best strategy to win a higher salary is to wait for the offer. Respond with a counter offer with your salary request highlighting your skills but most importantly provide support evidence. This maybe other job postings that list the salary and salary info from Glassdoor.
No one will give it to you if you don’t ask for it.
Thank you! I just don’t want to come off demanding or arrogant and lose the offer, but I also don’t want to be taken for a fool.
The industry combined with no real UX experience is likely why it’s on the lower end. To maximize your comp you can target tech companies, but my honest opinion is that you should take any role that gets you experience and then focus on 2-3x your comp in the next few years.
Even if you stayed at this company for the next year, your background will set you up to easily 2x your salary.
Real experience is very important for those mid-senior level roles. Your background will set you up nicely, I would start looking after you’ve hit the 1 year mark.
Best of luck!
That is rather low for a Ux role and your research backs that up. If you’re job description is focused on Ux skills I would see if they are willing to explore a higher salary? You may not have tons of Ux professional experience, but as a junior you are still bringing a wealth of value to your role with your visual design background. Never undersell yourself and good luck!
Thanks! Yeah that’s what I keep getting told that’s it’s too low but I guess I don’t know what wording to use to show my competence without rubbing someone the wrong way. Thank you I will negotiate and hope for the best. If not I’ll take it regardless cause I know the job market right now is tough.
