FWIW, I tried negotiating everything BUT base & bonus — PTO, profit sharing, tuition reimbursement, service credit, even swag. They just patiently smiled at me and said, “Those are all great points, but no.”

What details do you want to negotiate? I’ve heard of people negotiating level (based on yoe) and small line items (e.g. reimbursement for certifications related to areas of expertise). You won’t be able to negotiate salary, as those are tied to the level that you enter.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

Lately I’ve been feeling like all my friends and family around me have such great careers and are very successful and I’m behind. I would like some help trying to figure out what my next career move should be. I know I’m capable, I just don’t know what I should be looking for in my next opportunity, or what (strategically) I need to do to work my way up the ladder. Any resources or suggestions of who I could hire to help me figure things out?
