I’ve been getting some traction applying after so long of nothing! Sometimes the salary is quoted and lower what I’m targeting, but this statement seems to work…open to feedback if you have any suggestions

“I’m really interested in this role! I noticed the salary was listed and I’m curious if there’s any room for negotiation there.”

Only thing I'd consider is tightening up the second sentence. Something like "is there any room for negotiation on the listed salary?" feels a little more direct. That said, if it's getting results, I wouldn't change anything. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

What you've written is okay but you might want to be judicious in how you use it. If there's a job you're really interested in, it may be better to try to get an interview first and then bring up a potential negotiation. In a lot of cases, however, it may make sense to use it as you don't want to waste time interviewing for a job you wouldn't find acceptable.

Yes agreed, but that’s the thing I don’t want to waste time if it’s a salary I would not be willing to accept

Waiting to hear back from well known life science boutique (think ZS, Clearview, Putnam). Offer would be for NYC office, would likely relocate.

If offer is given, a) at what $ is this worth and b) is brand everything for first firm out of school?

Also would the life science boutiques reasonably pay more than that?

I have applied to several positions up Google. I have not heard anything back at all. No matter if I customize my résumé to the job description I still don’t hear anything back.

Do people on Google believe it is appropriate for the recruiters just a ghost people especially if they feel they don’t match the job?

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

I received a job offer from company A and am currently negotiating salary. I have an interview with company B next week and know that they offer a higher base pay. There’s no guarantee that I will be offered a job at company B but my gut is telling me that company B would be a better fit for me. Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?
