Every New Year my company asks us to set a goal. Do you actually pick something you care about, or do you just make one that sounds good on paper? Has it ever really helped you, or does it feel like a box-checking thing?

My boss doesn't take it seriously so I don't take it seriously. He barely reads it and has told me as such. We just have to do it as a corporate requirement and the annual raises have nothing to do with our performance, pretty much. I don't take much time to fill mine out because I know it'll just sit in some file somewhere and I don't like doing things that don't have a purpose.

Mine does this but during our year end reviews. I try to be generic so if I don’t hit my goal it’s not obvious, but overall, I’m pretty sure they’re pointless so I don’t put as much effort in as I used to

Hello. Just curious on what's the salary ceiling for a manager position at Deloitte? Received a verbal offer and waiting on written offer. I was told by a recruiter that M at Deloitte doesn't make more than 180. Just curious if that's actually true and if anyone had experience negotiating higher salary than 180.

Any other effective strategies with only one month to go?

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.
