My second interview wrapped up yesterday, and the recruiter hinted that I'll be receiving an offer soon. I'm new to this whole process, so I'm wondering if I should be researching salary ranges and thinking through what I'll ask for. Or do most people just wait to see the number they're offered first?

I wouldn’t hold my breath on an offer. You just never know right now. I would say to do your research, so you know if it does happen. Wait for them to give you a number and then decide on what to do.

like

Why wait? Do the research now. You don't want there to be a lengthy delay between their offer and your counter.

Always know your target number and the job compensation range. Be ready to negotiate and ALWAYS negotiate, it's expected. People that do not negotiate get the lowest of the low end of the employers range.

Search Glassdoor, LinkedIn, and ask around like through phone screening with other similar roles at other companies what they think market rate is for your years of experience and skills. I personally will talk very openly about compensation with at least 3 recruiters before I feel like I know how much I can get in the same market & industry I'm interviewing in.

When talking salary, make sure they know you're flexible and open to work together on finalizing the details and you shouldn't have a problem locking in an offer. Best wishes.

Go for it!

how did recruiter hint ?

It’s interesting to see several articles and surveys emerging saying the initial bump in productivity from mass remote working has started to come down or even go negative as the novelty wears off and people start to get worn down from longer hours, the stresses of having kids at home full time, burn out from increased workloads, stress from the pandemic, etc. Curious to here people’s thoughts, do you think you’re less productive now than back around the April timeframe?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
