CEO: “You have a choice: Either toe the line and accept this is corporate America or...”

Me: “What’s the severance package?”

CEO: “Generous.”

Me: “I’ll do that. Right, I’m off to the bar.”

Sounds like you quit? Didn’t know you could get a severance when you leave of your own accord

No, he’s daring the CEO to fire him.

Except that severance typically doesn't apply for termination with cause, so....

Now that’s a battle well picked. 👍👍

Question on on labor laws in the US:

Received an offer from Amazon but I'm concerned about negotiating hard and ending up with an offer that's on the higher end of the pay band when compared to the rest of the (future) team. My concern is during an economic downturn, it would be easier to let me go if the team needs to be downsized. This would be because I would have the least experience on the team & more expensive to retain from a cost perspective.

My concerns valid? #amazon #aws #faang

What is the obsession and appeal for MBB among MBA grads? Is it really that amazing - from afar it seems like it may be romanticized (maybe not the right word) among applicants. I know it’s way better than the work I do now, so I’m not knocking MBB at all. It’s super impressive. Maybe a better way to phrase it is that MBA applicants seem to have a fairy tale view of consulting as a whole. I get the impression that people think a job in consulting is a magic ticket anywhere
