Today reminds me of when I interviewed with Deutsche Bank in 2018. Morning of the interview, saw on the news that their headquarters were raided for money laundering. Made the “Why do you want to work at Deutsche Bank?” hard to answer, I just wanted a job after college. Have fun anyone interviewing for McKinsey this week!

I had a headhunter from Equifax recently reach out. Took a lot of restraint to not give a snarky reply about their data policy.

That was a bridge I was happy to burn right around when their big scandal came to light. Had a recruiter reach out and I sent him a nicely written, but scathing, response about why I had no interest in ever working for them under any circumstances. That was one of the few times I've actually responded to random recruiters with a personalized response.

Hi All. I have a good job offer but I'm wondering whether I should negotiate comp. I made it clear from the beginning what my target for base comp was which is ~$10K over the top of the posted salary range for the job. I also said that I was comfortable proceeding with the interview process despite the top of that range being lower (somewhat weakening my position for later I suppose). The offer is at the very top of the range. Bonus is 5% less than what I get in my current job. Negotiate?

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
