Thoughts on listing salary expectations on your resume or LinkedIn? I’ve seen a few people post things like “Seeking $130k+ base” right in their bio, and they say it filters out lowball offers. Part of me loves the transparency, but another part worries it makes you look inflexible... or worse, out of touch. I’m actively job hunting and wondering if it’s worth trying.

So, on LinkedIn when you switch your profile to either passively seeking or actively seeking, it asks you for a floor compensation… recruiters can see that…

But if you’re the one applying for the role, and you believe that you have the power to demand a certain level of compensation, I probably wouldn’t continue reading…

Here’s how it works… you apply, you interview, we make an assessment on what we can offer based on the market and your likely compensation currently and/or what you told the recruiter, we make an offer, then you counter… but branding yourself like that by putting it on your resume, is in poor taste…

Additional Posts in Jobs in Finance

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?

Hey all! I have an interview with

Is it the case here?
Thanks!

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?
