Personally don’t like the sort of discrimination you get for being young and new. It’s just weird because a lot of times it’s told to me like it’s some sort of issue… I’m like tf was the point of hiring me then? Why tf do you need my help then. Your interests are different from my managers interests. Also I was hired in a supporting entry level position…

Can anyone comment on the work life balance of the company and general culture? What sort of hours should I expect?

Thanks

At what level do you typically get to have contracts at hire with firing/exit stipulations like golden parachutes/severance pay? Is this really just at the F500 c-level or is it more common at lower levels in specific industries or in startups?

I’ve been feeling pretty dissatisfied with my company because of the disparity between inflation and salary. At the start of the year the bill out rate for my role increased by 13%, yet pay only rose by 2.5%. I started speaking to recruiters to get an idea of what the market is like, but it seems like pay is stuck in 2019 for other companies too.

I don’t think expecting salaries to rise with inflation is unreasonable, especially when profits do, but is it unrealistic?
