Got an offer for 142k + 20,000 stock units from a startup and $135k from guidehouse.

I love the team I interviewed with for GH but at the startup I would be leading my role as I would be the only main team member. I’m torn. What would you do?

Hmm couple questions.

1. Are you at the point in your life where you value stability? Or can afford (financially etc) a more risky endeavour?

Are you ok working alone at the start up?

Do you like more project based work giving recommendations and working on pieces of a solution? Or do you want to own a problem and the solution set start to finish?

I'll also say: don't be afraid to negotiate with GH.

Whatever benefits GH offered you, assume they’ll be cut in the near-term.

As you grow with your company and take on more responsibilities, delegation becomes MANDATORY to be effective in your role.

Just don't confuse delegation as an excuse to get away from tasks while you don't work on anything important. Rather, use it to grow efficiently by working on the most important tasks while others help you.

I work in a sucky IBM cic, making $54k. It’s a full time job with regular benefits and vacation etc, it’s working with government clients. The job isn’t what I applied for & constantly changes. I don’t like that, but I’m a full time employee which is “stable employment”. Btw, I’m in the DC area.

I just got hired for a government contract through Accenture for a Business Analyst role. Pay is $65 per hour. 3 year contract. Benefits too. No PTO. Holidays off with pay, after 90 days.

Thoughts?

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
