@BCG1 no, can’t see all the details if you have your anonymity settings on, but surprisingly few people actually update those settings. I’d say of the daily ~20-25 views, a good 85% I can see.

Are you recruiting, or looking for a job?

It is very helpful if you use LinkedIn to access information through your network or use it for client work.

A2, does that mean you know everyone who’s looked at your profile even if they have their anonymity setting turned on? I’ve always had mine as anonymous so I can stalk people freely (not really concerned with who’s looking at mine) but I’m worried if anyone I stalked has Premium then they’ve known anyway...

If you are looking to jump ship....then yeah sure, but don't make it your only avenue

I just feel like coworkers will know what’s up if I have premium on.

Interviewer asked what my current salary / bonus is and I told them.

I got the offer and it’s exactly the same base/bonus as my current role. (Though they’ll also give me so stock options in the private company).

Can you share what is reasonable % increase to get for salary / bonus when switching jobs? I know the team really likes me.

I have a phone screen interview with AWS for the position of Systems Engineer with the Linux team early next week. I’ve been a Sys Admin for the last 4 years, and I’m not very well-versed with coding. The phone screen does have whiteboard coding, any tips on what I could do to prepare for this? I’m not sure if I can let the interviewer know I’m not too strong with coding. I do want to take up the challenge, and also find out if the role would require extensive coding though. Any tips?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
