12 month expiration on commissions definitely gives recruiters incentive to place you at companies you’ll want to leave within a year.

air- posted:I should add it's a corporate property management company in my case, the front office staff just responded actually - they have to escalate it up the food chain to a property manager. Not surprised to hear that and I hope we don't have to go back and forth too much since all I'm asking for is the same concession and pricing as the unit below mine, I think that's pretty reasonable... But think of the better view you get from being ~13 feet above that unit! The air is cleaner and you leave the hustle and bustle of the streets faaaaar away! I got suckered into paying more for a higher unit in my last apartment. In fairness, the view did improve substantially and we were on the top level so paying to not have upstairs neighbors was worth it.

Stoop Kid posted:I work in public accounting as a manager at one of the very large firms. I had a loving miserable busy season compounded with some personal tragedy, and I was passed up for promotion to a Senior Manager role this year while a low-performer with tenure was promoted. These two factors made me decide to leave, so I updated my resume and started talking to recruiters. Do not accept. I’ve seen staff/seniors accept counter offers that came with an immediate promotion to senior/manager and that’s worked out okay, but even if they promoted you to Senior Manager you’d be capped out at that level. If you could make Partner they would have promoted you already. The clients and firm will be fine. The prior year workpapers should have everything they need

It seems much better to take $200k, give it a shot, and start looking elsewhere after 6-12 months if it’s not a good fit.

IMO, just move on if they aren’t willing to get in the same range as similar competing offers. “I had other offers for substantially more money” is an explanation any sane hiring team should understand.

One of the more common experiences in business: “We need to do Y for $X or else Z happens” “No that’s too much, we’ll be okay” *Z happens* “YY will cost $XXXX to fix Z” “Are you kidding? That’s going to dent our yearly numbers how could you not have fixed it before it happened????”

HR has lots of important things to take care of before they can tackle sending out offers: 9am - 10am: Catch up on gossip and tv shows from yesterday 10am - 11:30am: debate where to go to lunch 11:30 - 1pm: lunch 1pm - 4:30pm: make the rounds in the office and moan about how busy you are. Starbucks run! 4:30pm: send status update to hiring committee with insufficient details on salary negotiations, leave for the day.

As long as you aren’t on a PIP or clearly about to be fired, in the event a job is offering you less than what you are currently making for a similar role, you will always have a solid competing offer aka staying at your current job.

Jumpsuit posted:Thanks, I pulled this one and the recruiter said that the exec would try and push for $110k but it would take a while for leadership signoff, not guaranteed, plus oh here's another role at $100k that I should strongly consider. Why would you decline her invite? There’s a great new role at $90k that just opened up.

That's like the "I'll be rich and famous when I grow up" aspiration of a six year old in its specificity and believability to my mind. All pitches are now done via LinkedIn flex “Yesterday I was asked what my vision is for the company I was shocked. You don’t need to explain your vision.. …You live your vision Anyone who matters can see it. Your vibe attracts your tribe. Remember that. #thankful #inspiring #levelup”

The 18 month job hoppers are always interesting to me since I’m absolutely not wired that way. Assuming a 90 day ramp up period and 90 days for job searching, 1/3 of the time spent at stop is fairly unproductive. From anecdotal observations it does seem to be a good way to make a lot of money fast, though.

From what I’ve seen of a good buddy who churns start up jobs, I don’t have the personality for that life. Let me ooze along in the megacorp world. Maybe it’s more boring, but I’ll pass on participating in the founder’s 9pm board game power rankings that he’s totally not using to gauge who is on slack at that time.

REMEMBER SPONGE MONKEYS posted:I’m also curious if you fully buy that it’s only 9-5 M-F. I feel like being in an integral role and helping them make major growth/transition could easily require extended hours as well. Had a similar thought given it’s billed as a start up, no matter what stage. Best case it’s 9-5 plus another ~2.5 hours per day commuting.

I know of a person who has been promoted every 12-18 months since joining the company. Ended up running a business segment in near record time. The managers must have really recognized their potential for blowback if they messed with the career of a founder’s nephew

Jordan7hm posted:Realistically even really great performers are only actually producing for like 20 hours every week. If you can do 4 hours of good productive work in a day, every day, that’s pretty solid. For ICs, 4 hours of good productive work depends on setting boundaries or having a good manager willing to fight to keep your schedule clear. A day with meetings at 10am, 1pm, and 3:30pm has a low chance of producing any creative work during business hours.

In the finance/accounting world, my business school peers who went to work at startups or small businesses used it for rapid title acquisition. Now they have SVP or CFO titles on the resume and are moving into larger companies.
