The typical rule is that the hourly rate should be double your desired annual salary. So if I want to make $50k a year then my hourly rate should be that of a $100k salary. Reasoning behind it is because you have to pay for your own benefits which are pricy out of pocket.

Ditto what manager said. Assume 2000 hours per year (40 hrs * 50 weeks). If you make $50,000, bill to $100,000. $100,000/2,000 = $50 an hour.

Ha so then the quick way to do it is just divide your annual by 1,000. Never realized that. 60K salary= 60/hr.

Hi all. How does one approach about a role change. I found out I got promoted to a senior support manager but the duties are the same as I do now and don’t consist of leadership responsibilities ( I work for a startup and was expecting this). How does one go about asking for role change in a different function of the company?

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work.

They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?

I am currently a restaurant manager. There are two of us who got promoted at the same time. Shortly after, the other manager moved in with the GM (both female). The GM is also best friends with the higher up’s wife. I am not close with anyone. I come to work to do my job, not create friendships. Especially not that close of friendships. I am treated differently for sure. My work is nitpicked and constantly negatively criticized. I want to do well and succeed, but I feel like an outcast. Help?

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??
