Hi Fishes,
I recently got an offer for Cyber security advisory at PwC India . They gave a 20% hike on the current amount. Thing is that l, the technical interview told me that it is not a software/coding type of position and asked me multiple times if I was interested to do that. Is that a red flag?
Hi, I'm leaving Citi in 2 months.It's hard to make this decision. I have an offer from a small startup.In citi, my previous experience was not considered and was reskilled to different tech which is the reason for change.I don't like to exit citi. As I like the company so much.But considering my current knowledge,I am in the middle of the sea.I am afraid now that the new company's offer would be revoked due to this recession?Or can I take back my resignation in citi before the last working day.Is this wise decision?

I don’t really tell my friends what I make. That’s my spouse and my business. I tell recruiters the biggest believable number plus 10%
I try not to tell friends, but some close friends will ask. And if they are not in tech or consulting and familiar with the comp structures things can get weird.
I use to think it was not polite to talk about or ask about salaries. Once my close friend group got over that bs and started sharing what we made, we starting hyping each other up and encouraging each other to find jobs that paid what we were worth. 2 of us made moves to earn 35-45% more in one jump and another asked for a raise for about the same amount and got it. Before we talked about salaries, I didn’t have the confidence to ask for 6 figures. I ended up at a company where salaries and raises of everyone was public and that was amazing. They paid competitively and fairly, no hiding
You want everyone seeing how much you’re paid? What company is this? Seems like corporate hippy stuff to me honestly

To friends and family, total comp. To recruiters, total comp + 30% as minimum
Chief
I give them the salary range listed in the job listing
50k-300k.
For friends who are all in the same space as I am (Cyber) we talk frequently. Even other friends in different areas of consulting, we speak about salary. I don’t understand why it’s such a taboo topic with the older crowd. You need to know what people make to ensure you’re not being slighted. This is why so many people are underpaid and their team members are making 10-20 percent more than them..who are doing the same thing. As far as recruiters I haven’t really talked to many of them or just never really been asked. I just tell them what I want to consider the role they’re offering.
Yes, always start high.
I refuse to tell recruiters and I just tell them I expect an offer that is market competitive. If I get the ultimatum then I tell them my total comp number, plus some variable percentage lol.
You should be honest or don’t answer at all. Don’t make up a number because some companies request pay stubs before making large offers. You can just not answer or tell them, this is how much I’d like to be compensated… and ignore their request
I always thought this is something that you don’t ask people. I don’t recall my friend group ever having a discussion around our. Earnings and personally I’ve never cared as it doesn’t impact me personally. My family doesn’t know how much I make. So it would be up to you if you want to discuss. For recruiters it’s a bit different since it will drive any offer you get for employment. The general recommendation is that you don’t say what you currently earn and instead tell them what you expect to earn based on your experience and market comp etc.
Never a good idea to discuss money

I tell my friends - as long as it’s talked about in an appropriate situation it’s all good, especially friends who I know are in the same general window. For friends who I know make significantly less, I try not to answer and more focus on trying to help them with mobility (if they ask for it).
My friends are poor because they work selfless community jobs like nursing so I tell them the lowest plausible number to make myself seem less like a giant corporate sell-out. I don't know why I bother, either way they think I eat diamonds for breakfast
Do you?

I tell them what it is. They all make at least twice as more than me though.
