Got a new job offer at a top firm, but having a tough time negotiating compensation. We’ve agreed on a salary number, but they are trying to pay me bi monthly, while I’d prefer to get paid every two weeks for the obvious working capital benefit I would enjoy. Anyone else ever been hung up on this?

Yes, I'm sure the firm will happily overhaul their standard payroll practices to accommodate you

No luck so far on Sunday. Currently trying to find the hiring managers address so I can just go handle this face to face like a man. Will report back

I’ve heard payroll departments are typically extremely easy to get to modify standard practice for a single new hire, especially at large companies. Odd that you’re running into that issue

Yup

Hold the line king. How can they expect you to have an opinion about your clients’ working capital if you can’t protect your own.

With product design questions, I struggle to identify user groups. Once I do everything starts flowing and I’m confident. But the initial identification of user groups is something I find challenging. What’s your go-to way of doing this? For example, the question “design a podcasting app for truck drivers.” What types of truck drivers can I select so that I can prioritize a user group to focus on and begin identification of pain points and solutions?
