Nice job, but out of curiosity, how did you do that? I’m assuming you were laid off as part of Arnold’s recent loss of business, which would seem like they have an airtight reason for termination and no incentive to give you more than what they initially offered.

I haven't received anything, I just requested it and gave many reasons why I would deserve more than they offered. Doing my research, standard is 2 weeks per year. I've been here longer than that (plus there are more reasons). I'm waiting for an answer.

Should I accept it? Or would leaving EY that early not be wise?

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
