It’s so hard too bc I’ve applied to so many on the careers pages so by that point the recruiters can’t really help

What’s ur level , line of service?

What level are you? Do you have your CPA?

A2 on track for senior promotion in December and yes i have my CPA

The senior title will definitely help! Also networking - during my job search I found that it was easier to get an interview if you knew someone who could refer you.

🔥I asked for #1 joining bonus in BNY but not received joining bonus.
#2 Demanded 10-20% extra on current offer but they matched offer and release offer without discussion ( I accepted as backup )
Week of difference in 1st company (wk-1)& BNY( wk-2).

Bny purposely release matching offer ? will they increase offer & provide joining bonus ?

Note: 1 month NP pending & nothing in pipeline ( reduced interview call)

Best way to handle such scenario to get best result from bny

You input?

I wanted to spread a little positivity this Friday afternoon. I just started a new job after casually interviewing for several months at the start of the year to do a little research on the marketing job market, and then seriously interviewing/searching since May. After coming close with several other jobs but something always going wrong (low ball pay, role put on hold, etc.) I finally got THE job. I’m excited about it, I’m paid well, and fully remote. So don’t settle, and don’t give up! ✨
