Would it be a good idea to negotiate my salary based on a job posting that has the same job title and description as my current job at my company? How successful that be and have you done it or should I steer away?

It's a valid data point, but one job posting doesn't indicate a trend or set the market rate. If you were to come at them with, say, 5 or 10 similar postings, you could argue that you are being underpaid. At the end of the day, especially now, with it being an employers market, the most important piece is what your company is willing to pay for the role, and how expensive would it be to replace you.

You aren't likely to be very successful in negotiating with just this one job posting in hand because it's merely a discussion if you don't have any leverage. We're you to interview and get an offer, and be willing to accept it, then you have something to negotiate with.

My friend invited me to hang out with her and her friends because I was feeling very sad about my breakup. Three of her friends end up hitting on me and just really invading my personal space. I honestly thought they had a joke or game of some sort. I tell my friend it makes me uncomfortable because it’s not something I’m looking for atm. She says I should take it as a compliment, but the only thing I feel is disgust that I now have to look forward to guys only wanting me for my body 😔

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house.

Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

During my interview process I clearly stated my salary expectations of 95k-105k. They came back with an offer at 80k. Is it even possible for us to come closer to a better agreement with them being so low? All other aspects of the job are in line with what I'm looking for, so I really want to make this work.
