Job Offer Advice
After you receive your offer, ask for the timeline that is needed to respond. If they rush you and say it needs to be immediate, that’s a bad sign. This happened to me concerning a job I was offered in IR for a Lake Tahoe resort. They wanted me to start in three days. I was offered the job while still living in NY (I live in SF now). I declined because I would have had to go home, back, and fly back, all within 72 hours (also needed a place to live).
Job Offer Evaluation -Stock Options
As you are evaluating a compensation package with stock option benefits, take some time to learn how stock options work and what they might be worth in the future. Under that all option plans are not the same and the "dilution" is a factor that you will need to consider.
Job Offer - What do to next!
Never accept a job offer on the spot. Ask for a few days to evaluate all line items as related to the new engagement. Explain that you want to make sure you are making the right decision and will think through all the issues thoroughly. During this period, you can do your research and build your strategy for salary negotiation.

Networking Tip - Always get consent from both parties before doing an online / email introduction as related to career networking / job opportunities. Don't allow for surprises - it is a bad look. You need to respect that time and efforts of both parties. Do not take for granted that it is ok to make that blind introduction

Resume / Cover Letter Document Type:
Unless you are a designer and only networking to find a new role, do no use a design tool (i.e. Canva) to draft your resume. The ATS will reject your resume and the chances of the resume being read by a set of "eyeballs" is very very low. Submit your resume in a .docx file (or .pdf if sending to a person or if the interface says "Upload your .PDF here".
Unfair Promotion Practices and Limitation of Opportunities
One of the most fundamental forms of workplace discrimination involves “unfair treatment” because of an employee’s membership in a protected class. This often manifests as disparate treatment in promotions, opportunities, job responsibilities or hours. Common examples of such actions, which are illegal if based on an employee’s protected characteristics, include:
1. Involuntary reduction of hours
2. Assignment to undesirable or less-favorable shifts
3. Reassignment to a different department or location
4. Removal or limitation of job responsibilities
5. Exclusion from meetings or other communications
6. Denial of opportunities to work with certain clients
7. Assignment to less profitable territories
8. Patterns of people in specific groups who receive promotions over equally or more qualified workers
9. Inconsistent or unsupportable reasons given for denial of promotion or exclusion from opportunities
