Would you take an offer with 35% less salary with two years less tenure (consulting) or stay unemployed while searching because you were laid off recently? Location is western Europe, asking for a friend.

Why not take the job AND keep the job search going from day one? Take the money while you can and while you need it, nothing would tie you to the non-ideal job long term.

True! And if there is somehow a question about that during an interview or something, absolutely nobody should hold it against you given the circumstances.

Negotiating with EY for M/SM Tech Consulting. I have 15 years experience, skills are in demand and my interviews went extremely well. 1. What are the salary ranges for M and SM in NYC. 2. I am told it is only going to be a M now, for my own benefit-no EY network means failure at selling. Whats the highest salary I can negotiate at M. Any other tips will be handy. I have "sold" (support on sales & new roles through relationships) plus I have solid delivery experience. I really want SM 😀😀😀 EY

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
