I've been sending out a ton of resumes and i got a response basically saying thanks for the resume please forward your salary expectations. Now I haven't been interviewed and have no idea what the position would be paid. So it's a bit of an awkward spot for me. Suggestions?

I interviewed for a job which they told me I got. Gonna hire me I guess. Had to fill out another application so they could do background checks. I left my salary history blank. Now the HR person sent me a email this morning asking for salary history. What's the good response here

It's for a survey crew chief position. My options are "contractually obligated to not share" or the line about sharing it after an offer

Well I went with "I am not comfortable sharing this information which my prior employers consider private. I much rather prefer to focus on the value I would bring to company instead" or similar and it worked fine. They sent an offer over which is fantastic compared to my current setup. 100% jump in payment, 401k, more time off, better medical. So I'm happy. It is slightly lower then what was suggested during my interview. I said great I'll look it over I'll be in contact soon. Do I send an offer back to hit in the range suggested in the interview?

Just had a pretty killer interview for a new job. Wooo. I am writing a thank you email now along with references and a writing sample they requested. Now my lease is up in 3 weeks and without a job I am moving out. Do I mention this in the follow up email? Like hey not to rush you guys or anything but I might be leaving the state without a work commitment at the end of the month.

I got emailed some additional questions from a perspective employer. Included was annual salary expectations. I plan to deflect, probably saying something about not knowing all of the benefits offered? Some advice here: I likely won't be offered as much money as I make now as I am possibly changing career paths a bit. Do I mention my pay rate if asked because it is so high? Does that prevent them from offering me a role if that is the case?

I made it to 4th interview as one of two candidates for a position I wasn't huge on. I've done the job before and it's okay but I'm not thrilled about it. So I know I'm gonna ask for a lot of money. I manage to get the salary range out of the HR guy and they are paying 58-72. Great! I've done this job before, know my poo poo, I ask for 70 in the job interview. I don't get it, but that's okay. I find this out because the guy who does get it calls me for a reference. We worked at the same company learning this same sort of job. He has more experience then me and has a certification (not required for the position). I know he doesn't know how much he is worth or how to negotiate. When they asked him what he wanted he asked for 22 an hour, they gave him 25. This thread is doing the Lord's work

He called me asking for a reference and that's when I found out he was the other candidate. I asked him what he asked for and he told me 22 an hour. I was totally stunned. I told him then on the phone what they told me. 58-72. At that point he didn't know what they were going to offer him. His negotiation for pay would begin the next day when they officially sent a written offer. Why he didn't ask for more money then I do not know. Maybe he couldn't believe how loving terribly underpaid his previous position was. He trained me at my last position, has a few years more experience, and a certification and I negotiated to be paid more then him when we worked together. Because I was making more then 22 an hour then. This is what happens when you don't know what you are worth and how to negotiate.

Droo posted:Is the 58-72 range an annual salary of 58k - 72k, or is it also dollars per hour? Annualized. So 28-35 an hour.

Are federal government offers negotiable? What's negotiable in them? Can I request a rate change from tech to a professional listing? Can I ask for a higher step?

It's frustrating because your personal view of what a good job is extremely nuanced and, likely, divorced from reality. You are probably reaching into the either, imagining a "good" program, and what objectively is "good" and having a hard time reconciling your work with what is beautiful. But, and this is important, that is not the actual standard against what you will be measured. Can you solve problems and submit code that works? That is the standard. Do you meet that standard?

Sobriquet posted:I’ve been interviewing with a company I’m very interested in working for, but I have a great BATNA in my current position. I am laid well and have amazing work-life-balance (flexible hours, wfh ~1/3 of the time and walk about a mile when I have to go in), but I would like to feel more fulfilled and challenged at work. The new job is a big relocation away from family support (including giving up free part time child care from my mother in law). Although I _think_ I’d be happier in this job it’s still a risk, and it’d be nice to have a big chunk of change to offset that risk. Why would you want this job? You are taking a big pay cut losing family support, and likely a hit to your quality of life. All of that in exchange to feel challenged at your job? You can feel challenged at home with hobbies

What's the deal with unlimited vacation? It's obviously not unlimited, they aren't paying you to be on vacation permanently. It just feels loving lovely to read that as a policy

It's an American capitalist hell scape perspective. Can you just be fired from your job? Can your boss just walk into your office and terminated your position?

Thanatosian posted:I had a job interview for a position with a city government in Washington State today; I don't anticipate getting an offer, but the position is union-represented; given that it's a government position and union-represented, I think benefits and salary are locked in and non-negotiable. Is that the case (I've never been in a union before)? Typically the government Union job has strict pay bands and offerings. You can negotiate, but it's usually within the pay band ( correct me if I'm wrong here ). For instance you could be offered a job for "Engineering Whatever" and they have Ranges A-D paying 4000 a month at the start of A to 10,000 at the start of D. You probably can't negotiate for more then the bands, but you could negotiate yourself from A into D if you can prove you meet the standards for D.

I got a job offer from a state agency. However I'm currently the health insurance provider for my wife who needs surgery. How bad is it too turn this down? Bridge burned if this position opens up again in a year or two?
