You weren't fired for cause. I know several people who have been rehired at their previous agency after a Covid layoff. Kinesso, for example. If you really enjoyed working there, why not go back?

Plenty of fish in the sea. I’d move on, if you left on good terms they’ll reach back out eventually. They always do.

I got let go. It says no one fought for you. They won’t fight for you if you go back either. Freelance, yes. (For a high rate) Staff, no!!

Does anyone know if their firm has any inclusion initiatives around hiring individuals with special needs as part of a transition program?

Hi everyone.
Just reached final on-site round for a Senior Manager position in the logistics department. Role is for Amazon UK. Recruiter is asking me now for my expected compensation (base salary + total comp) via email. Any idea what to aim for?

I don’t know the level but was aiming £80k base, +15% bonus. If I don’t fall under their budget, would I automatically be removed from candidates?
Any tips are appreciated!
