Not asked. 10%. Still don’t understand why, since our numbers are good. I’d get it if there was any evidence of decreased revenue but we’ve been crushed recently.

Cohnreznick salary for a senior in advisory?

How can you quantify all benefits, besides medical, dental and vision. My numbers say I would be taking around a $8k pay cut. I currently make $65/hr as a BA, but I do ALL the QA work, and even PM, they are offering me full time at $110k/year with “bonus of 10%”… but I feel i am taking a big pay cut and bonus Will have to wait another year. I counter offered $115k, because the initial offer was $105k, and the HR lady told me $110k is the final offer. Is it worth going to full time? Advice?

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

While that all sounded nice, it seemed like too much to leave 8 months in @ D for that when I’m up for early promo anyways, and there’s something to be said for growth at a company and not looking like a job hopper to the highest bidder. There will likely be just as lucrative if not more lucrative offers down the line. Am I an idiot?

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
