At what age or point in your career did you learn that going above and beyond and making yourself available to your manager didn't actually do anything to advance your career? I spent years working myself around the clock, I built a marketing department from scratch and was one of the reasons why our company was so enticing to investors. My reward? I was laid off and replaced with someone cheaper.

I was sobbing at my desk, overlooked for a raise, passed over for a promotion, looked around and realized none of my leadership was as invested or worried as I was. None of them were working late or getting sick from anxiety. It’s hard to set aside my desire for excellence — because why do it if you’re going to half-azz it? — but I’ve learned over time when the extra effort is worth it and when it isn’t. (Spoiler: mostly the latter.)

Hey all, Happy Monday. Curious for feedback on how you've seen severance offers approached.

My prior companies have always been what I thought of as average: min of 2 weeks plus extra week for every year for ICs, min of 4 weeks plus extra week for every year for managers, etc. for Directors & beyond.

Current co refuses to offer more than 1-2 weeks, max. I had to go to bat recently for a 3 year + manager level only to get 3 weeks and my leadership team is NOT happy with me.

Thoughts?

FX & Treasury Sales Job at a bank in India

I work at an US bank in a middle office role in India but I’m not liking it much because it’s process oriented. Now I’m getting an offer from an Indian based bank for the Treasury and FX sales role but I’m so confused about the job security and targets. My questions are below:

1) Will I be asked to work for 12 hours?
2) Will I be given targets and if I don’t meet it, will I be fired or something?

Tax Senior here.
