Should I still send personal thank yous after phone interviews that were set up by a recruiter (ie. don’t have their emails)? For context they like me and I’m flying out next week to meet them.

Yes. They won’t respond, but people notice. Be short and sweet, they only care that you did it, not what you say

YES. Email thank you's are so common. Make sure you stand out, especially if you're really excited by it.

Definitely yes, it goes a long way!

If you’ve already set up an in-person meet-and-greet, and they’re flying you out, I’d personally just wait until after the in-person to send the thank you emails

Absolutely. I find this so rare these days

ALWAYS

Write each thank you note and ask the recruiter to forward to every person you met. It is essential!

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?

I went through a few interviews with the Deloitte Cybersecurity for a manager role. I've been in more senior roles at competing firms. Initially I said no thanks, but after the 4th call they made an initial offer at the top pay of the manager salary range and sent me a link to the application form. It's a 20% pay bump for me. So the question is should I take a demotion for 20% pay bump? Or counter with a lateral move? Is it even possible to negotiate a higher level after interviews are done?

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter? I accepted an offer a week ago with a great company (Company A) that for this season in my life seems like a great fit and only strengthens what I have to offer company B down the road. Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
