Took a job offer that exaggerated their pay structure when it came to commission, its been 5 months and I’ve been trying to apply for other opportunities but I feel adding this company to my recent job experience is hurting my chances at gaining interest from other companies since it’s been such a short period of time. Should I just remove it entirely, or am I just SOL?

You could call it “consulting work” while you were looking for full-time employment.

Best bet is to do everything you can to prove them right for the next 6 months. Document your trainings and show your ability to instantly imput the feedback. If results dont change, you can say you gave it your all & it just wasnt a good fit. But best to have proven results

I’d say SOL… 5 months is too long of a gap to explain away by just removing it. Keep applying but know it’s gonna come up again and again

OP this same thing happened to me. A company totally lied about what my bonus amounts would really be and I was so mad. I ended up leaving and I left it off my resume but I wasn't there as long as you have been. That is really tough because 5 months is a big gap to explain. You could always try taking it off and sending out your resume to see if you get better results.

You should include it but just explain what happened or just say you’re looking for better opportunities as you feel they are not challenging you or helping you build on your career.

Recently promoted senior and the raise was surprisingly higher than expected. I had applied to a position before knowing about the promotion and raise.

Not sure how to handle the situation, any advice is much appreciated!

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?
