How much do you want to earn?

👋 Hi all,

Let’s talk about salaries, paychecks, and how much you want to earn. It feels uncomfortable, right? I agree. But we all find it essential and want to grow our income over the years.

Furthermore, I’m still following everything happening in social apps and the background story of the most popular product on the internet right now.

Enjoy, and see you soon,

Over the past 15 years, I’ve been hired for many different roles, from intern to management. The number of job interviews must be a few hundred at least; it’s been fun most of the time. The funny thing is that you get pretty good at determining if a candidate is a cultural fit within the first few minutes of the interview. Most of the first-round interviews were online calls, and after the pandemic, I never did the first round of face-to-face interviews again.

But one thing constantly changed the interview tone for good or worse: the paycheck, a.k.a. How much is the salary? This is always a deal breaker for both sides of the table. The candidate usually has something in mind, and the vacancy comes with a salary range based on the applicant's seniority. While LinkedIn is still the leading professional platform for job seekers and job recruitment, there’s one thing that they haven’t cracked yet: salary filters.
