The exit interview is all about altruism. There is no upside for you and potential for downside. The I ly reason to share if you care about the company you are leaving or the people that are still there

Agreed with SM1- goal for an exit interview is not to provide feedback but to ensure you don’t burn any bridges.

Just thank them profusely and tell em you liked working there even if you hated it. When asked why you are leaving phrase it as the opportunity of a lifetime came up and you owed it to yourself to take the leap. Some exit interviews might try to press for specifics- keep repeating versions of this line.

I trashed my last manager at the exit interview (kept it professional, but thorough and with verifiable examples). Told HR the team was miserable and I was just the first person to quit proactively but everyone’s looking. Another person left 4 months later and then the manager got fired. Sometimes the right thing happens...

Constructive criticism should always be given.

I don’t get this. Why can’t you give constructive feedback without burning bridges? Isn’t the whole pt so the the firm can work towards making things better?

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

Hello! What is the best way to structure a discovery call for SaaS sales? e.g. share a deck, only focus on their use case (current state, goals, pain, etc.), share a story, etc. Lastly, how do you go further than surface level, like if they mention they are having issues with xyz, which is usually a symptom of the problem and not the problem itself. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.
