Anyone ever quit their job without notice? Why did you do it?

I started working for a small company doing digital marketing, the owner insisted I be at his office every morning bright and early. That wasn’t the problem though. I got there one day and waited around awhile and finally texted to see if he was coming in that day to open the office. He said why would he come in, it’s his anniversary… I said ok, I wouldn’t know that. He said I should know since he’s my boss, so I said “ok you aren’t anymore”. And that was that. He was rude to me as soon as I started, I regretted starting there and was looking for a reason to leave.

It is not a great idea to do this if you can help it. On the other hand, if you are in a toxic situation that isn’t advancing your goals you are better off not spending another hour doing it and walking away. I have done it long ago in my career, and I am glad that I ripped off the bandaid and walked away.

I've never done this in my entire career. But I was tempted several times. Especially when I was still in a toxic company.

Nope. Not yet but a tempting idea. Just kidding. Haha

What's the best form of compensation to ask for and why?

My employers' CEO just announced that they just received $7 million from investors. He wants to use that money to offer incentives to employees that hussle and drive more revenue for the company. We're not sure what those incentives look like yet, but here are some post-announcement rumors from my co-workers:

Cash bonuses, raises, profit-sharing, company equity, 401k match, etc.

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?
