It should be more than that!

I am expected to work on Christmas. I am a freelancer though and am working on some big projects so it is stuff I have to get done. I will enjoy some time off in the morning though.

Oh no that’s unfortunate! I guess that’s the freelance life sometimes though.

It depends on some clients, but typically there is a shut down period

That’s good, I think all companies should!

My company just offers Christmas and new year’s as official holidays off. For all the other days we want off, we have to use PTO, which I am. Only working 1 day between Christmas Eve and Jan 4

That’s pretty good, unfortunate you have to use time off for it though.

We have a shutdown, which is fortunate. There are some people who come in just to keep the lights on in some minimal way, but pretty much everyone is scattered and enjoying the holidays. After today I'm off and I can't wait for this day to end.

That’s great o hope you enjoyed your Christmas!

Everyone should get Christmas off

I think everyone does I guess it’s also the days around it.

I have been giving a few interviews lately and every Company is asking me to confirm if i can get my NP reduced from 90 Days to 45 or 60 Days. I'm still under probation but assigned to a Project already. Should I ask my Account Manager and HR about it or its unethical to do so. Am i making a mistake to ask and confirm about NP even before my offer letter or its ok to just enquire what's the process and possibility to reduce NP as we have buyout option too.

Cash bonuses, raises, profit-sharing, company equity, 401k match, etc.

I have an A.S degree and working on my bachelor’s/masters may 2024. I negotiated to 84k NYC. I have seen interns get offered 38 per hour (79k) for internship positions with a similar role.

Thoughts? Should I go higher? I do my job well that’s why they decided to keep me as a contractor after my internship.

Hey fishes, recently got an offer of 245k plus a bonus, but no specificity and at least 3% cost of living annual raise. My current job I make 150k plus a 20% bonus and an annual cost of living raise anywhere from 2-3.5%. Have been in my current position about a year. Things have been a bit bumpy (not a me issue) I have a new supervisor and was recently given 7 direct reports (I had zero before). The new position while comes with a significant raise is a move to California. Any thoughts?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!
