Benefits

Potential offers incoming from Gartner (AE), Salesforce (BDR), and a promising SaaS start up (BDR). Currently an AM at a IT services and staffing org. Want to get away from staffing regardless, but want to stay within technology. Unsure how to rank each opportunity.
Gartner lacks technology but I feel the skills I could learn would be invaluable and be a great resume add. Anyone ever been in the same boat? Or know how the benefits for SF and Gartner stack up?

How good are your districts at negotiating contracts on time? Ours expire every two years. At the end of the second year we always end up going into the next school year on an expired contract and work almost the entire school year on that expired contract. It’s not that we are asking for the moon, usually our raise is about the same as the rising price of healthcare, so it ends up being a wash. The workload only increases.The district also made us put in a “no strike” clause in our contract.

Need advice - I currently have 2.5-3 YOE (depending if u count internships) and $180 TC. I’ve recognized the pay is pretty high and industry jobs won’t come near it for my amount of experience. If I stay in consulting another ~2 years and get to Manager level by then, would industry firms be more open to hiring me for a $180-200k role? FWIW I’m mostly looking at healthcare non-pharma.

Is it stupid for me offer a pay cut to keep my job and benefits? Would the agency higher ups be even open to that if offered? I know it might sound stupid, but just thinking about my family.

On business in Europe. Airline lost my luggage and said to send them receipts for anything I buy for reimbursement. What’s a reasonable amount? I’m already at 500 euros just for essentials for 2 days

Just made a career pivot and accepted a job with Progressive in sales. I’ve heard more good things than bad about the company. I turned down Liberty and Allstate so I’m hoping I made the right choice. Curious if anyone works there can offer their opinion about what it’s like working for Progressive.

Can anyone refer me for any job at this point?

It’s really beyond sad.
