Work advice - trying to shift into being more of a leader vs coordinator yet always asked to help drive others teams on their broken processes (I’m in house). This constrains me from focusing on strategic projects and I’m not generally set up to be successful to push teams on things they need to do. Ideas on how to push back or just let other groups fail vs already holding the blame / accountability? Putting in womens bowl because I think a lot of women end up in this position

I think it’s best when everyone (especially your leadership) has the same understanding of your role, the scope of your role, and your desire to be focused on strategic work instead of tactical. Then when you do need to push back and have other teams be accountable you know that you are supported by your leadership. Especially if it fails it won’t fall on you. Also escalating when there are teams that don’t take accountability.

Anyone knows why there’s such a great gap in salary? Tomorrow I’ll have the interview so any comments could be helpful. Thx

Is it possible to ask for too high of a salary during an interview?

I had an interview end early because they couldn't match my salary ask despite me being a "perfect candidate" (their words). The range was the same/lower than what I currently make, and their role was for a more senior position. I gave a highball range but I figured there would be some negotiating. Maybe that company just isn't the right fit for me, but I'm just thrown off by how quickly the call ended after that.
