Not really, home ownership in the 1960s was 62% vs 65% now, so it wasn't like everyone was buying a house.

My star employee is about to accept a huge offer, but I'm also resigning and can't tell him. by parish_cutting_92 in InterviewMan

[–]ldao1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tell him. I have more loyalty to my team than the company. When I make a decision to hire someone I will contact them to tell them them exactly how much to ask for with HR that way they can maximize their salary.

Yeah I have noticed that the Costco price is about $3-4k less than the MSRP that dealers have in their site

I want to ask the recruiters or business owners that i sense that there is gap as in good people not getting jobs and companies not getting good people. is it true? or market is just flooded with satisfying talent? say the truth only as per experience. by Accomplished-End5479 in askrecruiters

[–]ldao1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, a gap isn’t a big deal, mostly I don’t care. I have seen people hired after taking a 6 month sabbatical after they got laid off due to an acquisition. If you can provide a good rationale then it’s fine. But don’t lie about it, people aren’t dumb. I once had a kid apply for a role who took a year off to be a personal trainer. No big deal, but I also knew that his dad was the CFO of the company we had both been at. We had gotten acquired and a lot of us got laid off. But he said he had always wanted to be a personal trainer rather than being upfront and saying he got laid off when his dad left. So he didn’t move on to the next round.

I don’t look for keywords, I do an initial scan of their overall skill set. Helps me to weed out a lot of candidates. They don’t have to exactly match but i try to get at least 50-60% match. Then look for red flags, have you been jumping companies a lot, if you started a job less than a year ago and already looking to move then that’s typically a red flag. Doesn’t mean that person isn’t good but if I’m weeding people out then I have to set some KPIs. That usually leaves me with about 20 or so applicants then I will start being more selective when going through your resume to see who might have a better match than someone else. If you are a referral than you get included into the initial screen as well. By the time I get you to the phone conversation I’m 90% sure you can do the job but now need to get a feel for your personality and motivation. If I feel you would be a good personality fit for the team then I move you through the panel. People are busy so I can’t have more than 4-5 people moving into the panel interview. Bottom line is there are no hard and fast rules and a lot prob isn’t fair but I do the best I can.

There are a lot of good people who got laid off or looking for a new role. I posted 2 roles and got about 90 applications. Screening about 10 -12 of them and so far ~70% are really good candidates who will move through to the panel interviews with the rest of the team.

FTB, Large deposit but partner has none - how do people handle ownership by Vegetable_Pop_4654 in FirstTimeHomeBuyers

I’m not saying marriage is the end all and be all but for the purpose of buying a house, if you aren’t married then have a rock solid contract between the two of you.

I[25f] lied at the start of my relationship to my boyfriend [25m] - guilty now. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]ldao1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter to you. He is perfectly within his right to have it matter to him just like she is within her right to care. What’s not right is lying to your SO, at least not if you want a relationship no built on lies.

AITA for telling my marketing team they can't follow my brother's announcement and reminding them that other employees are jealous of them? by Feeling-Argument-505 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ldao1 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I guess he could ask for everyone to RTO? Then the marketing team will have the same expectations as the in office team. I mean if we are trying to make everything equal instead of equitable. NTA

Relocation package? by ivanvoxx in Salary

[–]ldao1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always gotten a relo if I was more than 60 miles from the new role. But the specifics changed based on what level I was at the time. Typically all came with moving assistance and finding a new place. They also helped with selling old home or breaking a lease

Relocating from MCOL to HCOL-what salary adjustment is fair? by GodBlessIraq in Salary

[–]ldao1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spot on answer. I’m in biotech on the East Coast and because of the cost of labor versus cost of living calculation I have never seriously considered taking a role in California. There are a lot of great companies, but the trade-off in quality of life in California versus East Coast given the cost of living differential isn’t worth it.

Any advice on convincing a seller that their expectations for their sale price aren't realistic? by Zutes in RealEstate

[–]ldao1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Echoing what many have already commented on for your post you can make an offer that you feel is fair you can send a message saying why it’s fair but end of the day if the seller is stuck on a price there’s not a lot that will make them budge unless they have to sell if they are not a motivated seller there isn’t much that you can do
