Why is it that some jobs are paid more than others, even within the same industry?
And why does it seems impossible to negotiate a higher salary with some companies?

Join us for an enlightening episode with our special guest, Dan from HR, who returns to the podcast to lay bare the fascinating and often mystifying world of compensation. We cover the six pillars of compensation that directly influence how much you're paid, decoding how factors like company size, industry revenue, and job family- industry alignment can seriously impact your paycheck.

Exploring further, we address the crucial subject of salary negotiation. Why do companies actually ask for your salary information upfront? What does it mean for you, and for them? Listen in as we shed light on compensatio ratios, federal law compliance in compensation practices, and the curious trend of companies making their 'best and final' offers.

You're going to gain so many valuable insights into compensation that can help you better understand why companies offer the salary ranges and help you better negotiate your offer. Tune into the episode to hear more about:

• Understanding compensation structure as a whole
• Effective salary negotiation strategies in the interview process
• The HRBP role in hiring and compensation
• Employee benefits: laws and regulations

Follow along as we go behind the scenes to talk about all the ins and outs of the hiring process. We’ll peel back the curtain to demystify the rumors around ATS, the application process, how resumes are evaluated, and all things job-search related.

Why is interview feedback so elusive? We're discussing this topic with Lori Golden, a recruiting leader with more than two decades of experience building and scaling teams. This episode dissects the difficulties recruiters face when managing high volumes of applicants and the impact this has on providing effective feedback post-interview.

So how does this help you as a job seeker? By learning how hiring teams operate and make decisions, you can better understand why rejections come, with or without feedback.

Some additional topics we'll discuss in this episode:

• Feedback in the interview process: Do they actually add value?
• What does closure really mean as a job seeker?
• Marketing yourself as a valuable asset to companies
• The risk of hiring decisions & why "take a chance on me" is a high-risk decision
• Reading between the lines of job descriptions

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about whether using the green 'Open to Work' banner on LinkedIn is a desperate move when looking for a job.
