Gloria Fowler+FollowJob Hunting? It’s All About Who You KnowTurns out, landing a job these days is less about your killer CV and more about who’s in your contacts. With thousands of AI-generated applications flooding every posting, it feels like your resume is just another drop in the ocean. The real trick? Networking. If you know someone (or their uncle), you’re already ahead. Kinda wild that tech was supposed to connect us, but now it’s just making old-school connections even more important.

twilightPoppy+FollowOffered a Pay Cut After Grueling Interviews—Now What?! 😱💸I’m in a real bind and could use some advice. I’ve been working in higher education for a while, earning about $93k a year. Recently, I applied for a new position at another university that seemed like a perfect next step for my career. The job posting listed a salary range up to $106k, and I made it clear during the process that I’d expect something toward the higher end if I were to make the move. After two marathon interviews, I was shocked when they offered me $85k—less than what I make now! My potential supervisor said she tried to get HR to bump up the offer, but this is what they came back with. I’m feeling pretty discouraged and honestly a bit insulted. I can’t take a pay cut to switch jobs, but I really want this opportunity. Is it even possible to negotiate $15k or more at this stage? Has anyone else been lowballed like this and managed to turn things around? I’d love to hear your thoughts or advice. 🙏 #SalaryNegotiation #CareerAdvice #JobSearch #JobCareer #Career41Share

AmberAether+FollowPIP Nightmare: Take $10K Pay Cut or Risk Getting Fired? 😰Hey everyone, I'm completely stressed out and need your advice! 😣 I've been a Product Director at a small tech company for years with great reviews, but after recent layoffs (including my old boss), I got blindsided with a 30-day Performance Improvement Plan two weeks ago. I've been hustling to meet all the PIP requirements while job hunting like crazy. Finally got an offer - same industry, Senior Director title, but it's $10K less than my current salary! 💸 The company won't budge on compensation after two rounds of negotiations. Here's my dilemma: My new boss says I'm meeting the PIP goals so far, but I know PIPs are usually just a formality before firing someone. Should I take this lower-paying job as my safety net, or risk staying to finish the PIP and hope for something better? The offer expires in a few days and I'm panicking! 😭 What would you do in my shoes? I really need some perspective here! 🙏 #PIP #CareerAdvice #JobSearch #JobCareer52Share
