Yes - 5k isn’t that big of a cut and if you’re looking to make a career change getting experience in the role is way more important than the 5k pay cut (assuming you can afford it). You’ll make that comp back easy in the future

Im a RN and took on a new role working in Home Health.

Wanting some advice on salary benchmarking if possible as I'm unsatisfied with current.

My role involves end to end recruitment for a range of roles: tradespeople, engineers, warehousing, admin across Australia & NZ. Global niche business, 20-25 reqs on average.

I have 1 year of experience within recruitment + 5 years of sales exp before then in a different industry.

If you were in a similar role in Australia, what range would you feel comfortable with if you had similar experience level?

Hi MBB Software Engineer fishes,

I recently applied for a position in one of McKinsey’s recently acquired firm for Senior Software Engineer (Team Lead).

The interview process is so damn easy - A medium level Hackerrank test, interview with company CTO and then behavioural round with a McKinsey Director and offer extended.

Wondering if this is a red flag.
