As a interviewer, don't write rubbish on your CV if you haven't worked on that. You loose trust when not able to answer very simple question.

Don't talk salary before you talk value.
Find the needs and wants of the other party and definitely don't be needy. Nobody likes a needy person. 🤞

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

At some point is the comp that much better?

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?
