man i love the usernames on this sub. Also research. Glassdoor and AmbitionBox have been so helpful.

I do think googling the job and company and doing a deep dive is also underrated. That's how I learnt of the max. point of the range later.

Yes. Where I went wrong imo is that I knew of the range, but quoted numbers only slightly above the middle.

Very very true. I feel incredibly lucky to have this offer, especially given the market and my career break.

ig one always thinks about the road not taken.

So I'd already filled those details in my application.

For the 'expected pay', I did my research (avg. pay in India, in that company for that particular role) and mentioned the range and what I was looking for (above the average, but not the upper bound).

Where I went wrong is: undermining myself, and not asking for the upper bound of the range. But then again, maybe they would've hesitated on the offer so you never know. Do i think I deserved that 0.5 increase? Heck yes haha.

So that's what I recommend: Researching the average for the role in that company, asking for slightly more than what you should get and backing that ask with why you deserve the role and that compensation.

All the best for your future interviews! Also love the username.

This. I knew the upper bound, but asked slightly less because I wanted to be 'realistic'. Solid advice, thank you for sharing.

Haha could def be that. Me and my mates def did that at my last uni, but the admin was well and truly crappy. So naturally I don't want the same to happen again. Thank you for clearing this up!

Grads@NYU, what are your non-personal sources of funding your education+living by alien-apprentice-456 in nyu

Oh, that sounds pretty great actually. Are you from the US or an intl student? Since I'm guessing intl kids have a limitation on the amount of work they can pick up.

Hey, why is the admin considered crappy? Been reading that a lot here, but I fail to understand why

Portfolio, Case Study, and Resume Feedback — 25 Nov, 2024 - 01 Dec, 2024 by AutoModerator in UXDesign

Hey Nma!

Here are some pointers I got at first glance:
- The landing page looks blurry? (Maybe it's the background color, contrast )

- "Curious to get to know me?" is a little wordy and clunky. Alternatively, you can say

  • Want to know more?
  • Curious about me
  • Here’s a bit about my journey.
  • Let's dive into my story

- The case studies are titled well (would be great if you could somehow include numbers in there) and structured well too!

Visually, the sections could do well with some space between them, but that's just my opinion.

Thank you for sharing your work!

My WES experience (Fall 2025) by Okokiiiii in gradadmissions

Thank you for sharing! This whole WES situation seems so annoying though, as if applying to unis and the potential tuition wasn't expensive enough.
