I've had more than a few promising candidates back out suddenly.. is it the hiring company or are they just getting better offers at the last minute?

It may be a mix of both. It may be worth it to actually reach out and ask them why they are declining the offer so you all can have that information and not keep wasting time interviewing

The same thing has been happening with us. One candidate did tell us the other offer was more money and their offered salary was wayyy out of out budget

This so disappointing right? We really need someone to fill a manager role. We partner with a recruiting agency and there's been some miscommunication ther

So many possible factors may have affected their decisions. Better offer, bad review or personal reasons.

I'm interviewing with KKR for a Principal role in their real estate group. All online salary resources are all in alignment with a total comp of $200k+. I'm assuming based on the average salary reported across these portals for principal that those figures apply to the RE group as well. Anyone have any direct knowledge or can speak to that group's comp?

Does anyone know if principals are in cubicles or doe they get an office?

Amazon Offer- Accept or decline?

Base: 75k

Current TC: 98k
YOE: 6

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
