Don't do that, unless it's clear that what you're looking for just isn't reasonable. If you do, you'll end up looking again before too long.

Its just a lot of calls and then it doesnt go nowhere. But good point about better interviewing skills.

It depends on how financially stable you are. I quit my last job in December. It was so bad that it took a toll on my mental health. So yeah, choose wisely.

Are you being too picky. You shouldn’t have more than a few dealbreakers, then you should have things you want, but can negotiate some on. Hopefully you’re not one of those people who thinks they’ll have a job their passionate about lol.

Hi, I'm an artist with 5 years of experience in the game developmentindustry.

After interview sessions, it comes to salary negotiation. To my surprise, the salary offer is below industry average, even more like junior-level salary.

Though my experience includes team leadership and I have described in detail how I could contribute to the company, the interviewer raised the offer, adding $300 only, still in junior salary range.

What does it really mean, and how do I win the negotiation?

TIA.

I just listened to an interview of a creative director recount their path towards copywriting at a famous ad agency. It could not have been a more textbook case of failing upwards as a white man.

It would seem the only thing you need to make it as an advertising creative is to have lots of not particularly original ideas. Practically every other skill is unnecessary. If you’re a white man.

That this level of mediocrity passes for talent explains why so many agency briefs are so lame.

Hi Fishes,
I had given interview for network security architect position in Feb last week. And as per recruiter, I got selected for that role. I have been asked to share the documents on March 1st. I did a few followup for the offer letter update and they asked me 2 wait for 2-3 weeks. And now they are saying position has gone on hold after I did another followup.
Could it be because of expected salary ?
