This might sound crazy, but I wanted to break into big law this year and I did. Pretty happy with that outcome.

Not all, but I was pretty aggressive, so I'm happy with the results. I'll just tack the others onto next year and hopefully finish stronger.

That’s a great way to look at things. “Be proud of the progress that you did make.” I’m definitely going to use that

Not quite, but frankly I accomplished more than I thought I would, so I'm calling it a win. 100% better than last year, which is always the goal. In competition with myself is how I try to think about it.

Most of them, yes. I still have a few weeks before this year ends. Lol. But I'm really hoping to check everything off the list.

Ehhh...Kind of but I could have done better. There is always next year though!

I'm currently on £60k at a start up. Just got offered a job at a games company with a salary of £50k + 15% bonus 😖 I immediately spoke to them and told them that is way below my current salary and they raised to £56k + 15% bonus which would put me on £64.4k total comp. I've said I'll think about it and hope they raise the offer again.
Should I not consider this at all if they don't at least match my base? I have been aiming for £70k-£80k when looking at new jobs
