A certain scenario has come up where a job has offered me a position however, they do not offer a pension now the current position that I’m in does have a pension with that being said, would it be appropriate for me to request additional money based on the fact that I’m losing my pension and how much more should I request? I hate dealing with these type of scenarios. I never know what’s right, but I also don’t want to skimp out on what’s right for myself. Thank you.

That's an interesting scenario. I suppose the obvious answer would be to ask for whatever the amount is that your former job paid into the pension fund. I'm assuming, however, that the potential job would not be inclined to match that. Generally speaking, organizations do not like to match what someone else is doing, and if they're not offering some investment plan it's possible they're simply not interested. It might be a better tactic to negotiate for more salary, but don't bring in the purpose, as that may not go over well.

Thanks I know this is an odd kind of situation!

You could definitely negotiate higher pay and it would be fair to ask for that. The worst they can say is no. It doesn't hurt to ask for a higher base pay.

I've become really jaded about consulting.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

I’ve only slept with one person, my wife. I have not openly shared this with anyone because there’s a stigma that I “settled” or I don’t have numbers on the board like a man should. I’m not overly religious, so that was never a driver in the equation. I admit, I do think about the “what if” every once in awhile but I’m honestly getting to the age where I feel I’m beyond my prime anyhow.

Comforting others:

Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
