I am currently a technical recruiter in gaming, I am actively interviewing with Amazon. I said my salary expectation was 80k, however my company just restructured and we are being offered 92K which is a significant increase for me either way.

Is it a good offer based on my current experience and How is the WLB & culture at MUFG ?

So I had a first interview this past Friday at a company that I had previously interviewed with and made it to the final round last month. They decided to go with an internal candidate after it came down to me and him. The current role is more senior, and was one I was asked to apply for by the hiring manager, whom I also met with during the last set of interviews. I emailed the recruiter to f/u on Friday and still have not gotten a reply. Should I be concerned?

like

“Why do you want to work here?” How do you answer this question early in the interview process? I get it often in the first round and what I really think is - “I don’t know yet, that’s why we’re talking! It’s a two way street.” But that obviously isn’t a good answer….

Hoping for some advice on how to properly leverage another job offer to help make another company pull the trigger on you. I’ll explain: I’ve been interviewing with Company A for a month now and have met with GC, CFO, creatives, and today the final round with HR and CEO. I have a good feeling they will extend an offer but it’s not a slam dunk. I think I’m top 2. Company B has extended an offer but one that I’m not really considering (moving to a new city/not enough money). Do I mention this....
