Is 290k with 9 YOE considered median TC, per fishbowl standard?

What is your stance on remote work and productivity?

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

At some point is the comp that much better?

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?

Is anybody else watching Luis Miguel La serie???

I get the feeling that MBA degrees get compensated fairly well...more so than tangible real life experience. What is it about MBAs that is so valuable to the employer?

Hey guys! I just received luckily enough two offer from two big companies: one as a Senior UX in SAP Concur and another one at Microsoft as a Designer II in Microsoft Teams. The role matters until a certain point to me. What does it matter is career and learning perspectives. Do you have any previous experience with one of the two companies? All feedback or comment is very much appreciated, thank you!

Thank you in advance.

Hi all,

I am currently working as QA experience 3.5 years. B.E Computer science from Tier 1 college. Landed up in QA not by choice.

Now willing to make career shift as full stack developer. What do I need to do.

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out? The sheer volume of work is exhausting and I haven’t taken a true vacation as we are a small company so if something urgent comes to my email I feel like I must respond. I was given an additional title and more responsibilities last year as well but only a 3% raise for it.

Can anyone tell me what a territory sales leader makes per year?

Since summer started, working from home has been a blessing. I’m tanner than ever since I’m not stuck in the office until the sound goes down. And there’s something awesome about taking a conference call sitting out by the pool. It makes me feel way more important than I am.

Happy thanks giving to all my fellow fishes. This forum really did help me with all my at times stupid queries and most importantly keep me humble and grateful by sharing and knowing all our stories.

What is your daily routine on reading books or news out of work? Feel the time is dramatically reduced after I joined consulting😞

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

If your role is being closed/being laid off (not due to performance issues) just firm downsizing, do you tell the companies you are interviewing? How to phrase it?

Why does consulting attract so many socially awkward people?

Gotta love it when your flight arrives in record timing but can’t find an open gate

Ok... maybe its just too much “consulting” thing but: do you guys have a “life framework” or something around that like for example: health, career, family, etc? I could PS all the day 🤦‍♂️

What to people think about the corporate tax rate? Do you like it at 21%, did you prefer it at 35, or would you rather see something in between? Not trying to start a war, genuinely curious how you all feel about it.

How bad is it if when I quit , upon asked why I'm quitting, I say that it's because my therapist told me so? I know it's not the most professional thing to do but I would like to be honest and (cont)
