I am older than most of you…however will drop a couple of bits of info:
1, I was a senior VP veteran at JP Morgan and was on terrible money. So don’t believe the banking hype. Pay scales at these places are broken often in a bad way.
2, People lie about salary, they round it up, add total comp. I know way more people that lie about salary than tell the truth. Especially to women.
3, Because or tax brackets, really once you get to 100k GBP or $130k USD you would take stock options. We have a ceiling.
4, There are plenty of jobs where making out you earn good money is part of the finesse. HR, Talent Firms, Real Estate, any and every Pyramid- all the same.
5, Linkedn is like a k1ss ass contest to network. The genuine honest people earning good money mostly have blank / limited profiles.
The more detail on the profile, the more the fake hard sell. `I also find people that are very active on it are full of sh1t ahe are playing the long game fake sell also. Recruiters profiles are all lies btw.
