• I've been in my job for five years, and when I first got there it had been vacant for a year. It was vacant for so long precisely because it wasn't... urgent. Ask the hiring manager, and if you can ask other employees  more

  • You can ask why it's been vacant for a year, or something similar to it .

  • It’s easier to get paid more when you’re hired and loyalty is overlooked until you’re gone.

  • Sometimes a persons experience can dictate salary. Some people negotiate and say what they need. Some roles have a specific pay thats locked in. I... would evaluate your skills related to the position, how long youve been with the company, how much experience you have and ask for more. Don’t mention the other employee. You could ask that person, in a casual way, what skills or experience they have. If it seems skewed against you just leave and get another role somewhere else. Don’t throw the person under the bus. more

  • If your company pays based on education and not experience, unless things have changed since I retired, asking for compensation may not help you.... Employers will say they value your experience, but will show you otherwise. If they're getting paid more, the manager should be the trainer, not you. more

  • I would want to be trained the right way. Salary issues are negotiable based on the elevation as the work goes on.

  • There’s more to life than breaking your back for money, just stick around, wait for that revision in the managerial reporting plus that slight bump in... remuneration, you’ll be fine. Good luck. more

  • I think it's hard to remain at a workplace once the employer knows you have a viable option to leave that you have shared with them. Will the... adjustments made to give you more favorable working conditions be temporary, and could conditions return to those that proved challenging in the first place? You must evaluate which option will afford you the quality of life that you desire. How long will it take for you to achieve a 40% raise at your current employer?  more

  • While there are benefits to remote work, there are also challenges. An internal presence can help with career growth. A remote role can make it feel... that you are being overlooked. A 35% increase is something you need to decide on if it's worth it for you. Keep in mind that there is a business need for your role to be on site and if you don't take it, it can possibly be offered to someone else. more

  • I’d try to negotiate it to having only come in Tuesday-Thursday. Being with co-workers and being present will help you new skills, more creativity,... and knowing what’s really going in the company. The two days home are for hammering production work. Check out the success of big companies like Netflix in bringing people back to work.  more

  • A role being vacant for almost a year isn't automatically a red flag. It could mean the company is being selective, the role requires specialized... skills, or hiring was delayed due to business changes. However, it can also indicate issues like high turnover, unrealistic expectations, or uncompetitive pay. The best approach is to ask the interviewer why the position has remained open and evaluate their response.

  • Yes, because although working from home is a great option depending on the job, it's the team member who has the day-to-day on-site interfacing who... proves they are available to problem-solve, respond to immediate needs, and are less forgettable when you are working alongside the person who has the decision-making ability to advance your career.  more

We Need to Learn to Help Others Find Jobs Even If They Are Strangers

One thing we need to change in our society is the belief that we should only help people we know. Sometimes, a simple job advert shared with a stranger can completely change that person’s life.

You do not need to be related to someone to tell them about a job opportunity. You do not need to be their friend to forward their... CV. You do not need to know them personally to recommend them when you know they have the right qualifications and experience.

Many people are struggling silently. Some have qualifications but no connections. Others have experience but no one to guide them towards the right opportunities. Sometimes, all they need is one person to say, “I saw this job and thought you might qualify,” or “Send me your CV; I know someone who is hiring.”

Helping someone find a job does not take away your own opportunities. Another person’s success does not reduce your chances of succeeding. There is room for all of us to grow.

We should build a culture where we share opportunities, connect job seekers with employers, review CVs, give career advice, and recommend deserving people — even when they are strangers.

You may forget the job advert you forwarded, but the person who got employed because of it may remember your kindness for the rest of their life.

Sometimes, helping a stranger find a job is not just helping them find employment. You may be helping an entire family find hope again.

Let us learn to open doors for others, even when we do not know them personally. One day, we may also need a stranger to open a door for us.

  • You enjoy the job but still want a raise? It’s possible to get that raise only if you speak out about the value you’re bringing to the table else if... so much about money it’s easier to get it done with the new company than continue to make your case in the current company. If they really valued you, you would’ve gotten a raise already before asking for it. more

This... experience made him realize the value of constructive criticism and the impact his words had on their morale.

  • It probably is not what it used to be, no, unless there's a pension attached (which most companies have gotten rid of). The key is whether you are... still being challenged, learning, and enjoying what you are doing. In tech, that generally is not the case. We tend to stagnate in the same role and lose skills over time. Job-changing is no longer a bad strategy, and companies that look down on it are not where you want to be anyway.  more
