Anyone have any experience with their partner being a bully? Negging you when presenting, cutting down your ideas, etc? Any advice?

Our work is high enough volume that we’re managing and working on briefs. Our GCDs are, too. It is very strange — I did much more management at my last job as an ACD.

Yes. It’s been a while. But i had a partner go completely high school mean girl. It was a disaster. As far as advice, just try to talk openly. Don’t make it about them or you though. Make it about the team, selling ideas, success moving forward.

Yeah the crazy thing is I’m always game to build on their ideas. One time I thought an idea was way off tone and his response was “YES, AND!!!!” I’m like dude, take your own advice.

Had this happen to me once years ago. Need to work out what their end game is by doing it, and who they do it in front of. What are they trying to make you look bad for?

Then sabotage their efforts by building up the notion of team unity as the most important thing, rather than looking like you’re moaning about them as a person.

What did you do then? That’s F up.

Has anyone here renegotiated their salary after a short time being in a role? I accepted a position and I like what I do but I realize that the workload requires a lot to see success and I feel a bit burned out already with my 40 hours/week and occasional extra 30 minutes to an hour a day.

I am stuck between putting in my time and showing my value and asking for an increase to validate doing so to avoid job hopping after a year or so.

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days. I still have other interviews scheduled and some for higher paying jobs (around 90k) What should I do?
I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

Just became an ACD. Im in a limbo. Half of the time im being treated as a Super Senior AD and the other half im being treated as a Almost CD. Then when im scoped over work that my CD and I oversee, some people are asking me how does my role differ from the CD’s, as they tend to look at me as an unnecessary layer for approvals. In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
