What’s the most underrated job search tip you’ve learned. For me it’s saving your best stories for the second interview, not the first. I used to frontload everything, now I leave room to grow the conversation.

Review your application that you sent in so it’s fresh. With all the tailoring, I do tend to forget specifics. Keeping those in the front of your mind goes a long way to being prepared.

Someone once told me if they ask you for a drink to take it because it makes you seem more personable. Not sure if it is true but now I always take the drink.

If they offer coffee or tea accept it and either drink it black or don’t drink it at all. They are being courteous and not looking to be your barista. ;-)

Additional Posts in Salary & Compensation

Hi all, I have about 7 years of professional experience but only one year as a Customer Success Manager. I work on mid market accounts currently. I love my job, but would prefer to support a more robust platform that will allow me to add more value for my customers.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on what compensation you might expect for a CSM transitioning to a new company with one year of experience.

To clarify, I don’t have an offer yet, I’m just looking to make a move.

Thank you!

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
