qhat posted:The whole point of glassdoor is to identify the good companies from the cowboys, and it's really useful in that regard. It's useless if nobody ever posts negative critique because they are scared some HR type is going to go all Sherlock on their post. If you don't want to post then don't, who cares. It's nice to let the general public know who are the cunts and who aren't though. only clueless losers post on Glassdoor this is not usually a helpful perspective on a company

EnergizerFellow posted:As for Netflix specifically, even with a historically optimistic P/E of 20, there's just no way Netflix can grow top-line 10x, even in theory. The crash will be fun and hard. they definitely can. netflix has tremendous room for growth. it is not unthinkable to imagine a world where virtually all adult households have a netflix subscription the problem with netflix is not p/e or earnings, it's the monstrous debt load. they've got 4.6 billion in just regular ole debt, and ~15 billion in contracted obligations to rights owners that's a lot of debt for a firm the size of netflix to manage especially when you consider they are likely to need another billion dollars in debt next year, and another billion after that, in order to further build their content library

Do not invest in individual equities, everyone at the table knows more than you do. even if you think you are a genius stock picker, don't hold your employer's stock. that poo poo is just dumb you already have a huge stake in your employer in that you depend on them for a salary. don't double-down and also hold your savings in their stock. that is the opposite of diversification when you lose your job you don't want that to be the moment your investment account loses half its value

For this remote job. that's perfectly legal in most states. as is blood/piss testing to verify that you do not, in fact, smoke. "smoker" is not a protected class "hispanic" is, though. wonder why they would even want to know that -- seems like lawsuit bait.

you can, and should, ask the recruiter what the appropriate interview garb is. this is a totally normal thing to do. some places really, really want a suit others will give you the stink eye it costs you nothing to just ask

i live in nyc. i always ask the recruiter before an interview. i usually end up wearing a nice blazer, button up, and jeans. often no tie. sometimes a suit is appropriate, and sometimes it is not, and it never hurts to ask the god drat recruiter.

i am very comfortable in a suit. it is, if anything, my preferred wear. but, i recognize that social context is more important than my personal comfort. i wear the clothes that will make my interviewers comfortable, not what makes me happiest.

it used to be that going to college was proof your parents were rich, so you passed the test just by graduating now that universities grant scholarships and poo poo, competitive industries use unpaid internships to serve as the screening function instead. "we could afford to pay you, but we don't want to accidentally hire the offspring of dirty poors" for all of the technology industry's manifold sins, at least we generally pay our loving interns

Most of these guys just want to speak to me for half an hour on the phone or at coffee or whatever, half an hour that I don't got to just realise they want to pay less than what I already earn. no one cold calling you off linkedin is ever worth your time recruiters are a necessary evil, sure, but the ones who are trolling linkedin are the bottom-feeders' bottom-feeder. they literally had nothing better to do than pitch long shots.

The Management posted:I tried this a few times and it’s a guaranteed way to kill the conversation. what you want is for them to decide that they need you first. then the hiring manager can put pressure on the recruiter to come up with the number you want. yeah the comp range advertised by hr is not like, a hard and fast rule. when it comes time to negotiate all things are flexible it's more important to find companies you want to work for, and recruiters who have connections to those firms, than it is to try and winnow opportunities by comp early in the process (remember, the companies are also trying to winnow candidates by comp demand, early in the process, so the best you can ever get out of it is mutually screening each other out for a reason that could have easily been overcome during negotiations)

qhat posted:Never disclose your current salary ever, anywhere. If they won't continue the process without knowing, it's never worth your time anyway. this is over-broad advice. it's ok to disclose your current salary. just don't give it up without a fight. don't give it up just because they asked. give it up when it's time to negotiate, if and only if you believe the disclosure will improve your negotiating position.

Gazpacho posted:"I hear you're looking to sell a house" this happens all the time, and sometimes it can be advantageous to the seller if you are at the last stage of a hiring process, dickering over salary, you may still have very different expectations about comp. if you ask for $170k, but they were expecting to pay $100k, the bitter pill will go down a lot easier after you mention you make $150k right now. all of a sudden your $170k ask looks like a pretty good deal. your current/prior salary can constitute social proof, and that can be useful leverage at the end of the process what you don't want to do is tell some hr flunky your current salary at the beginning of the process. at best, it anchors all negotiations to your current salary. at worst, it filters you out entirely because some beancounting moron already picked a salary band for the job. -- tl;dr: don't talk about money until you both agree that you're a great fit for the position

asking for your last salary is partly negotiation tactic (leverage for them), and partly a hunt for social proof (leverage for you) as a job-seeker, try to avoid disclosure when it hurts you, and don't sweat it too hard when it helps you
