Get to the “why”, fast. Finance people are driven by results, and often think they’re smarter than you. Be ready to teach them something and prove your value in a tangible way. Don’t bullshit, don’t buzzword.

What do you sell?

Currently an engineer in MCOL area with 4 years experience (post graduating, not counting experience before/during college and large side gigs). I have a BS/MS/PhD in engineering and an MBA in business analytics. Currently making 100k as an engineer IV. As an engineer with a functional knowledge (but no former training) in IT and data analytics, what are the best avenues to get to 200k without changing fields and starting at an entry level position (or moving to a HCOL area)?

Thinking of switching from sales to a sales engineering role. Biggest difference is going to be higher base (plus bonus) with no commission or quota to carry. Curious as to what is a fair salary in todays climate. We’re a series C fintech company based in NYC. I’m being considered for the role because I’m one of the strongest presenters on the team. It will still be in individual contributor role with supposed path to leadership. Curious the range as well as equity to expect/ask for.

What’s a fair fee split as a 1st-year attorney at a new firm? Context: current firm I am at is being absorbed by a medium-sized firm. Partner is taking me, and only me, with him. Right now it’s 50/50 but I’m told going forward it will be split basically in thirds. My base is fairly low but I’m a 1st-year and need more experience - sort of a tough position to be in (though happy & grateful to still be employed). Thoughts? Should I jump ship, if possible? Stay for the good mentorship provided?
