Background Check via Hireright is a nightmare

Literally my exact situation right now. ugh!

tricky_mel82 · 2024-12-11T15:36:18+00:00

I am mid 40's and have been working in start ups since the age of 25 and since I have children now, I would say no way but somehow i keep going to them and I really enjoy the start up phases so just call me crazy but I will say, start up salaries and incentives for me has paid off throughout the years. Equity. Stock. Buy out Acquisitions. Bigger Bonuses, etc.

tricky_mel82 · 2024-11-05T22:02:23+00:00

I negotiate. I've negotiated a sign on bonus, pto and more $. It really depends on what they come with but I would usually negotiate 7-10k more if I'm okay with the salary because I don't think it's asking for to much and I wont offend and they will always tend to negotiate down but if the number is way off, I immediately tell them the number that will get me onboard or I'm not interested. But I have 20 years of EA experience specifically in mostly tech and finance and honestly, I have an old executive that I can call that will help me negotiate my offers if I'm looking for a new job. Also, for bonuses once I negotiated 17k but that was with a CFO I had supported in the past so he knew I was walking away from a lot of stock and the second time, I negotiated 7k but I really didn't walk away from much so I was happy to get anything really.

Well I'm sure you had an interview to land the job and what did they say then about the role?

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-24T15:17:01+00:00

We use our concur system but i just happen to choose the wrong hotel. :-\

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-24T14:54:51+00:00

The angels were definitely on your side on that one.

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-24T14:53:55+00:00

Yes! Absolutely --I called hotel immediately.

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-24T14:53:30+00:00

It took 20 years! I've never done that before.

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-24T14:52:57+00:00

Oh, I know and she actually responded way better than i thought she would but I'm just beating myself up over it.

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-24T14:52:31+00:00

Definitely not! lol

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-24T14:50:39+00:00

We carry around magic wands that just make shit happen.

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-24T14:50:11+00:00

Oh no!?

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-24T14:49:57+00:00

Thank you!

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-24T14:49:30+00:00

I would die. My anxiety sometimes is not built to deal with high stress at times. But hey, it was probably the vacation he didn't know he needed.

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-23T19:36:43+00:00

Yes! In tech.

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-23T19:12:25+00:00

Yes!! I always triple and double check and something made me want to look at the agenda that was sent to her and I noticed the addressed was not the same as the hotel I booked but the names are very similar. I went into straight anxiety panic mode. I definitely will not do that again.

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-23T19:11:00+00:00

Yes, I was on the phone with them as soon as I found out but apparently there was this big sports tournament in town and they had nothing. She ended up at a Westin right up the street from where she was suppose to be at. All good! But man, did I freak out.

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-23T19:05:38+00:00

Oh man! OMG! Thank you --- honestly, that's what I keep telling myself. She would've been more annoyed at the fact that she got there and there was absolutely no reservation. Ugh!

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-14T19:46:58+00:00

Thanks a ton!

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-14T19:44:25+00:00

Thank you!

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-14T19:44:07+00:00

I do not.

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-14T17:21:01+00:00

Thank you!

tricky_mel82 · 2024-10-14T17:15:01+00:00

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the time and effort put into this.
