What is a good starter comp pack for CSR ROLE ?
About to ask for a raise on Friday for the first time in my life! 28 yrs old and worked in the industry for 4 yrs before joining advisory in Jan. Also have an MBA. I'm in the field of operation/supply chain. Already did my research and have a number in mind. Interested in getting your thoughts on this. What do you think it's a reasonable number to pay someone with my background?

Definitely. If somebody isn’t married by 30, I shut them out. Vow never to speak with them again. Make sure all of our mutual friends/contacts do the same. And report them to the proper authorities.
What is wrong with you OP?!
Me? Nothing, why?

No. Everyone’s path, journey and goals are different.
I wouldn’t. Some people don’t marry early because life happens. Maybe they were focused on family, work, personal goals. Or it could be that a long term relationship or 2 never worked out during their younger years.

I don’t think “red flag” is the right word for it, because that implies there’s something wrong with them, which isn’t likely to be the case.
Nope. Bigger red flags might be getting married too young or having multiple failed marriages.

I'm 40F. Never married, no kids. Never even got close to getting married and have no drama filled failed relationships to speak of. I'm the most simple, laid back and well traveled person. I'd hate to be viewed as a red flag just because I didn't spend my 20s and 30s chasing relationships or jumping from one relationship to another. I've always assumed that many people like me exist.
I think women like you are more common these days. There’s less financial incentive for women to get married if they’re educated and have high-paying jobs. There are also countless studies saying child-free, unmarried women are the happiest people and this is becoming more commonly known. Armed with this information, the alternative is becoming less and less appealing to each new generation of women
I think marriage is becoming less of a necessity. Some people just prefer not to be married but opt in for life long partnership. Others are just fine being on their own because they have fulfillment in other areas of their life with family and friends.
Many people don't see marriage as an end goal or a necessity. Not a red flag at all.

Yep. I’m one of them.

I don’t make assumptions, they say don’t judge a book by its cover for a reason.
Based on the people I know, for women its usually a green flag, it means they either focused on career and/or didn’t settle for someone they dated whose behavior didn’t measure up. In some of the men 40+, it turned out to be a red flag, usually found they were still behaving like a 20 yr old, some were emotionally unavailable or cheated. Few were doctors and spent their 30s in residency, limited time for dating.
It really doesn’t help to generalize. You’re not going to get anything out of this except stereotypes.
Were they ever in a long term relationship?

I think this is more important than the marriage question.

I see it as a red flag if they did get married. Marriage is bad.

I don’t measure the quality of a person based on when they get married (if at all) so def not.
Depends. Is it Leo?
Hey! I'm in my 50s and never been married and I'm a Leo 😤🤭
I’m color blind so all flags look green to me.

Some people just settle, some people have more/less options , there are a ton of factors that go into this
I am 27M. Never been on dates or in relationships. I am not against dating/relationships, but I haven’t had any deep connections with women that I have came across to ask them out. Mostly know them on a friendly basis. I rely on dating apps to ask people out, but that has not been successful. I am trying to date, but hasn’t happened yet. Hopefully people don’t see this as a red flag.
Yeah, that’s right
