I'm interviewing for new opportunities and trying to navigate salary expectations with my search for a good role fit. I'm getting close to the offer stage with a few companies and am struggling between shocking the hiring manager for a position I'm very interested in therefore jeopardizing my chances of an offer and asking for a salary I feel i am worthy of.

Can the recruiter give you a range before it goes straight to manager? Better to have an intermediary

Recruiters know the range for the position, they often can’t tell you. I’ve waited for recruiters to bring up salary and responded with current compensation - often that ends the conversation because they can’t match much less offer a bump. If you’re being paid reasonably well in your current position you will find lots of recruiters with “great” opportunities don’t have the compensation to match the job.

I’m a 9th year in a mostly litigation-based practice group at a one-tier partnership firm. My group’s billable hours have been low the last few years, so making partner will be nearly impossible, and a counsel position is not viable long-term in my group. What’s the best option here if partnership is the ultimate goal? Try to get a NEP/counsel position at another firm, which is likely difficult in my market, or offer to take a class cut by a few years?

I’m four months into my job and I got put onto a PIP. I worked so hard to break into IB, put up all the hours and even working 2am nights for weeks, learned a ton, and improved a lot along the way as the sole analyst yet this happens. I’m extra worried because it doesn’t seem there’s IB analyst positions out there. Im really hoping come January more positions come up but I’m just praying they don’t fire me until then. Anyone have general tips for this situation?

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?
