I'm in a similar position. My headline is something like "trusted advisor to clients, leading teams in doing XYZ". My most recent bullet points highlight contribution to team growth; revenue won, revenue managed, helping grow the team in this space, thought leadership etc. Then the other bullet pts show off my domain expertise, e.g. "led project to do ABC that delivered XYZ".

Technical skills are way down. For SMs, it's about showing that you can be a trusted advisor to clients on your specific domain area and grow and lead teams to allow you to do that

Main projects, $$$ sold (if you’ve done sales), teams led, industries, and core technical skills

Revenue, results. I am a Senior and recommend getting a professional coach to review your resume.

Hey A1, if they sold anything then they wouldn’t be looking to change careers, nothing to see there, maybe industry?

I always got told focus on achievements not tasks, preferably quantifiable stuff like savings delivered, metrics improved etc.

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

I am interviewing at another company and when they asked me what my pay expectations are, I asked them what their pay range and expectations were for this role.

How should I bring up pay expectations in my next round of interviews to ensure I am aware of what this position is offering so I don’t lowball or overshoot myself?

Currently interviewing with Apple and anticipating an offer however, I’ve applied for the same role at Meta. I’ve reached out to a few recruiters on LinkedIn but haven’t heard back.

Have virtual interviews tomorrow and Friday (both with same company) - I know 150% if I got an offer, I would not accept. Had a ton of coaching meetings this week regarding a different offer I’ve been considering and I don’t want to leave my current place of work. Cancel tomorrow and Friday interviews or no cancel and potentially get an offer and decline? (I am fairly busy so biggest opportunity cost is my time and having to wfh to do video interviews during the workday)

Anyone else notice a trend with the mass amounts of layoffs in tech? Why are all their resumes so jumpy? Not like 2-5 years jumpy, like few months at a time jumpy? But still can land a position with similar tech giants? IMO, lots of these people get hired by their rich friends, stay a few months before someone realized they aren’t qualified and were just a recommendation from a current employee. Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%

Applied for a position in PWC UK and status shows as 'interviewin' on workday. Does this mean I'm selected for an Interview, or that the position itself is now in the interviewing process.

All who interviewed with Google, how long did the process take from start to offer? It’s been 7 weeks and I’m still waiting. The recruiter has been responsive but hasn’t let me know if I made it to HC
