Recruiters are on LinkedIn. It’s honestly a must, I get it it’s cringe and I struggle with this myself, but both 1) posting - essentially being visible and even more important 2) optimizing the profile - I highly recommend googling info on how to optimize your profile, there’s so much to it, but it does help a lot

So I worked from home yesterday and my husband had a sneak peak on my meetings with clients (which I’m very new to being a senior).

Anyone have thoughts or recommendation?

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
