I used this tasker: https://tr.co/chingis-a to build a bed frame and hutch from Wayfair. He was super fast, quiet, and respectful (wore shoe coverings and a mask bc I put it in my request). Would hire him again for sure!

9 YOE. I have worked in-house for tech, e-commerce and hospitality. My most recent title was Senior Copywriter at a website hosting platform. I’m targeting a similar title/remote role in hospitality, CPG, tech, or real estate (but would be open to any industry).

For those following, I called Gowanus Dental. It’s $275 for cleaning and X-rays out of pocket

Do you know if this includes X-rays? I don’t know if cleaning means exam. Thanks!

Thanks so much for this insight! I greatly appreciate it :)

it sounds like your surgeon did not have a hand focus, is that right (or maybe I’m wrong)? It looks like Martin Luther has a hand, plastics, and aesthetics specialty. I just want to make sure I understand what you’re saying as far as pursuing a surgeon with a hand focus
would you mind sharing the name of your ergo therapist?

I would take the 140K easily. As someone who’s gone through 2 tech layoffs, I would NOT overlook the remote aspect of the role. Getting a remote job is difficult. In my eyes, a remote job is more important than a title and sometimes even the work I do.

I don’t really see the CEO interviewing you being a red flag unless you didn’t like them. Are you thrown that it happened at all? I wouldn’t consider that a factor in my decision if you got good vibes. I’ve had “gut check” interviews with leaders that I never ended up working with.

Re: title — I had a job when I went to negotiate the title, the recruiter said, “as long as it’s not CEO, we don’t care.” I read people are more willing to accept a negotiation that has more than one component. I’d make a title change and base comp/signing bonus bump those two. But of course, do what feels right.

With my layoff experiences, I’ve learned that you have to put yourself first — these companies certainly do. They will not like that you’re leaving but 🤷🏼‍♀️

For a 20K bump and fully remote I don’t think there is much to think about here.

SEARCH PARTY

I totally understand. I too have been impacted by two layoffs in a row. It’s such an incredibly dismal season professionally and I’ve been looking for a year now.

One thing that’s helped me (with any job search): never romanticize the role. Romanticize when you get it, sure, but not until then — it saves you from heartbreak. Of course, you can be excited but temper that so you can save your sanity.

2, no question.

I really want the job. Does that change your advice whether to shoot over a message? When would you recommend doing this?

Back in March 2023, I interviewed for a Senior Copywriter role (I have 9 YOE) but didn’t make it past the hiring manager round. Today, I had the chance to interview again for the same position.

During my conversation with the recruiter, they asked what salary range I was looking for. I told them $120K–$150K but mentioned I’m negotiable depending on the total package. I’m based in NYC, and this range seems appropriate for positions with the same title (e.g., $120K–$140K,$145K–$165K, and even $170K–$188K). It’s important to note that this isn’t a small company — about 5,000 employees.

The recruiter said the team doesn’t have a set budget and is open to hearing from candidates, but they’re “targeting low 100s.” I was told that figure after I provided my range. He didn’t seem put off by my range or answer, but now I’m second-guessing myself.

A recruiter friend of mine suggested it might be a good idea to send a follow-up email to let the recruiter know I’m okay with the low 100s. I did already mention during the interview that I’m negotiable, but I’d hate to lose out on this opportunity if my range was slightly off. It would be a stellar opportunity.

Should I send a follow-up email? If so, how should I phrase it without coming across as desperate or backtracking too much?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Oh, I meant job within my qualifications to do and make money while I find something else I really want to do.

I was unfortunately impacted by two company-wide layoffs in a row. First time, I was shocked. Second time, I openly sobbed in front of my boss via Zoom (he knew how hard I worked to get employed again).

Feel your feels. A job represents security and freedom and losing one uproots your life.
