I’ve been quoted 105-110K base with 2 YOE plus relocation and performance bonus at some consulting firms. Startup I like in a HCL city offered me ~85K base with not a lot of equity (which isn’t much more than my current comp). Is it cool to bring this up during negotiations?

Inflation costs are killing my pipeline. Many of my deals are scaling back greatly because of their rising operating costs.

I have been working as a PreSales SA for 4 years for a tech giant. It has been a while that I feel like I am not growing at my job which is impacting my productivity. How should I address this to reach a conclusion as to what I should do next? Maybe find motivation or look for an exit strategy?

Redline or black line?

Anyone ever want to break away and start their own shop? What keeps you from doing it?

After having a record year I get an 8% raise, which is inflation. So basically no raise. Not sure why I worked so hard and made so many sacrifices.
