I just had a screener call with a company. Right off the bat she asked what I was looking for in salary. I said about 125k, she responded back with we would pay 135k for this position. I am on my second interview next week. Your videos are amazing. Thank you!

I recently got a job offer that literally make me gasp. I asked for X. They came ABOVE that number by $25k. I was stunned, and learned that I had low balled myself. I accepted.

One of my favorite questions to an employer when they ask what inquiries I have for them is "can you tell me about a time recently that an employee on (insert the team you might be on) went above and beyond and how were they recognized for it?" You'd be surprised how much you can learn from that.

You are definitely right - a big red flag is if you go through 2 interviews post screening and they want you to keep going. Your first interview should be with the hiring manager, a peer of theirs and maybe a subject matter expert they rely on. After that it should be the hiring managers boss and it should end there. If a company can't figure out this is the person they want after discussion with those people, the company doesn't even know what they are looking for.

I just received two offers in the tech space. When I joined the interview with the hiring manager at one company he just seemed “lost” he said “you’re the guy from X city right?” I said “no” and he guessed wrong again. While it might not seem like a big deal it resonated with me. If you’re going to be interviewing me I want you prepared and ready for me. The second company was bar far better, quicker to respond, better pay and benefits.

I worked for a company that had the so-called "unlimited vacation" policy. It turned out it was just their way of getting around employees accumulating unused vacation time. After the same company merged with another, they announced that they would look at the benefits of both, choose the best ones, and that's what we'd get. What they meant by "best" was "cheapest for the company."

I recently accepted an offer where the outside recruiter called me, and had actually read my résume. After an initial call, my next call from the hiring manager, followed by an in person meeting. He asked me what my salary expectations were, and advised that the range for the role were higher than that. On my way home from the interview, the recruiter called to say that the company would be calling the next day with an offer. They offered close to the max of their range, which was already higher than I was expecting. The best thing was that when asked, the hiring manager told me exactly how the role opened up in the first place, and how I would be able to grow within the role and beyond it.

Got an offer that I liked and accepted it. Already got a few certifications that the company paid for in less than 2 months.

1:05 is on the money. If they mess you about during recruitment process or after you accepted but before you signed contract (or before you started) this is most likely their general MO.

Great video! Yes, always look for real benefits, not stuff like “we have an ice cream day”.

Litterally perfect timing, trying to decide if I should accept I job offer right now

Well im actually working for a minimum salary right now in my new job (they pay less than previous jobs in the same position) BUT it has other benefits...its close to my home, I usually work less, I have nice co workers generally speaking, we are not so many so we help each other every time we can, the interviewing process was faster than I thought it would be, I am not obligated to do long extra hours, I can get some free time here and there and my boss is nice to me always asking me how am i doing or if I need anything, she is very communicative towards me and respectful. So..so far so good. The sallary could be better sure but at the moment Im happy with my choice.

Company I currently work for I was kind of iffy about the salary range they posted. I've been a software engineer for over 20 years. I didn't say exactly what I was expecting but they offered me way higher than I was expecting. Above the range they set. And because of my experience they started me out with 4 weeks PTO instead of 2 weeks. Benefits are great. I only have to be in the office 2 days per month but our whole team has to be there those two days. So we coordinate that around each others schedules, PTO, etc. After my first year I got 5% raise for my merits. We report directly to VP of Technology. He is so laid back... as long as you get your stuff done he don't care what hours you work or if you have to cut out early for something. Doesn't micromanage us at all. We have daily scrum meetings for the most part.

Thank you so much for the videos you create and the insight and tips you offer. I have 10 years of experience in my field but have always been in the bottom range of pay at companies. I’ve tried through the years to apply for hundreds of jobs offering better pay, but I would rarely make it past the first interview and when I did, I was offered more low ball pay. I felt stuck and incompetent in my work. After watching your videos as well as a few other channels, I completely changed my resume, and online profiles. That made a huge difference in getting interviews. I’ve been applying for jobs again for the past month and I’ve connected with several companies for multiple rounds of interviews with each. In my interviews, I started to focus on telling stories instead of rattling off stats or bullets of work I’ve done. I’ve received multiple offers that are 25-35% over my current pay and in the upper range of my field. I honestly can’t thank you enough for your help!

Thanks for all the videos, you really helped me! After taking your advice, and being inspired to do research, I was able to get two competitive job offers. It was a major ego boost but more importantly, a major stress reliever. I’m super happy and still continue to watch the channel because the advice can be applied to other areas of your career outlook.

One sign that you should accept a job offer in 2024 versus 2022: you got a job offer.

Been following you for a couple years knowing my current academic research job funding runs out soon. Started the job search 6 weeks ago, focused on the best company in town. Came back to this video because I received a solid offer this morning for a great job. Thanks!!

This has given me so much peace about my upcoming work transition. I not only got a great offer it is with a great company. Thank you for the content and the description of what a great company provides.

Thank you for this!! Your channel has been such a huge help for me this last year, since I changed careers and I'm in a more traditional employment situation than I was during my last decade+ in tiny nonprofits. <3
