had an interview today. went okay, not amazing. except for one dude who asked me about designing a server backend architecture to do some task and how I would scale it and store things. I'm an embedded systems engineer, I don't know poo poo about servers.

Same. $1 or 60% raise. I should probably go higher on that percentage but it's hard not to laugh on the phone

I usually punch in $1 if they get pushy about it or a form requires something. all the ones i did today had both current and desired income as required. i put my current as current+25k and then asked for another 20k over the top of that. either way is a huge raise because im criminally underpaid (leading to this job search).

most finance jobs the base salary isn't great but you can get a good bonus, I got ~30% every year at my last place but it's completely variable and if someone else's division has a bad year that might impact the overall bonus pool and since the executives always get massive bonuses rank and file people can get kind of shafted

the hackerrank things are easy though. run through the "normal" hackerrank stuff in your language of choice in an afternoon and you'll recognize every single question on those stupid job questions but I'm a weirdo that got a perfect score on a dumb C trivia test one recruiter gave me (knowing what the auto keyword does in C is actually wasting brainpower that could be used for something useful)
