    The First Confession: Welcome to the Real Corporate Game

    Episode 001 — The First Confession: Welcome to the Real Corporate Game Twenty-five years ago Deepali Vyas started sitting on the other side of the hiring table. The side you don't get to see. In this first episode of Corporate Confessions, she confesses what actually happens after the Zoom call ends: what your offer could have been, why you didn't get promoted, and why nobody ever taught you the real rules of the corporate game. This episode also introduces every recurring segment on the show, including a first look at Inside the Offer, where Deepali breaks down real, anonymized compensation packages from her own executive searches. Today's example: a $2.4M total package where base salary was only 19% of it. Chess, not checkers. Welcome to the confessional.
