It just merged with Smith amundsen and David keuthal. I worked at the Milwaukee office for 7 months a few years back and did not enjoy the atmosphere at all. Salary is pretty decent. My friend is there now as a 4th year new hire. $120k plus benefits. 1800 or 1900 hour billing requirement (I can't remember). Interesting case load.

Salary is low, billables are 1950, culture is pretty chill.

I have friends working at Amundsen Chicago office. One of them said “all depends on the team you are joining,”

Do not recommend. Low salary.

Hi Fish fam!

My company has started my I-140 application. The first stage is complete - got my prevailing wage approved. My HR recently told me that during the next stage (advertising for the role and PERM), my salary cannot be changed - no hikes or raises. Is this true? Some colleagues are giving me conflicting information so I wanted to be sure before asking the HR again.

Got an offer for Atlassian Canada - senior product manager. Initial offer is 160k base +15% annual bonus (24k) + 20k sign on bonus. RSU is 220k USD payable over next 4 years. There's no RRSP match (401k match equivalent). Considering its Atlassian, and current market rate, I think base is low. I would like it to be bumped upto to 180k. The recruiter earlier said the top of the pay range is 165k, which I feel is not really top but maybe median? Help me negotiate please; historically suck at it.

When I first got my job 3 years ago I settled with the title I have now (Marketing Coordinator) even though it’s not really fitting. I’m the sole marketer for 3 companies. I have 7 years of experience and answer only to the C-suite. I’m honestly juggling more work than 1 person should be doing and that makes my title/salary ($54K/yr) seem insufficient. What I’m wondering is, am I being unreasonable wanting a better title/salary and does my title really matter when asking for a higher salary?

SalesForce folks, a recruiter reached out for an opportunity to interview for a AE position in my specialty. I noticed there is also an opp available locally for a Strategic Account Manager in my vertical as well.
Any one know of pay difference between the two, responsibilities/expectations, how they are viewed in the org itself?
I understand they are different but in my job today, I handle both roles so can go in either direction.
Appreciate any input.
