I put in a booking request for a vacation and it got rejected and says “DC Approval Required: Chargeable” what does this mean? Did I do something wrong?

Does anyone use Acorns or something like that for investing? Thoughts?

PwC people, does vacation negatively impact utilization the same way hitting G&A does?

Best part time certification for data analytics so I can get out of tax? I need something that is recognized so I can get a job...

Polling those willing to share. What is your OTE? And does your base comp ever increase based on performance or a merit increase?

Any new seniors already regretting banking that bonus and committing to another 3 years?? 😬

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Georgia is an ugly font and makes workpapers look awful.

I hate people who review work papers and leave review comments in the form of questions when they already know the answer, but want you to figure it out yourself. Thank you for the self-discovery jerk

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
