Is it a red flag to not use your current employer as a reference or would this not be noticed? I have other references I want to use who I think can better attest to my skills for the job but don’t want it to raise any questions.

Not a red flag; overthinking it. List whoever you trust/believe knows you best and would give you a great reference

I don’t list reference from current boss but previous boss . I also see someone shared in this app recently , they got reference check but still didn’t get the offer. So be careful

Any Assistant manager who got promotion to Associate manager this year. Can you tell what hike you got this time.

Hello everyone,

I currently work at a company that I really enjoy but can no longer afford to live on the salary. I have worked in the position for almost a year. Should I ask for a raise and explain that I can’t continue to work there due to the salary or just move on and try to find another role? (I have a graduate degree and make $65,000 as a data analyst using SQL)

I am terrible at withholding salary information from recruiters. Yesterday a recruiter gave the line “I would hate for us to get to the end of the interview process only for it to turn out that we couldn’t give the salary you would need” so I panicked and threw out a number that was thirty percent higher than my current pay. He then told me the salary range which was way higher! Do you really just firmly repeat “I need to learn more about the team and benefits before I can assign a number?”
