Has anyone been successful in negotiating more severance? I’ve been offered a month, but I don’t think I can survive just on it. Only have 2 months saved up.

What was your level and tenure at the company?

Manager and three years

Is that because of mortgage, bills, dependants, etc. or lifestyle choice?

If the latter then really cut down. If the former, then perhaps worth explaining the situation to your erstwhile employer and see if you can hang on for another month.

I negotiated an extra month - got four total, but was at a much higher level and years with firm. I would “ask/request” as opposed to “negotiate”. You should also get cashed out for saved pto. Hang in there!

Due to a recent company-wide increase and additional pay for bilingual direct reports I am only making a dollar and change above them as their supervisor. I was hired into this position in March, having been the first employee in this department. I really tried to get them to budge on salary, they did not, but shortly after accepting they gave the whole company a dollar raise.

Any suggestions on how this might be addressed?

Leaving soon for brand management role in CPG which I’m really excited about but curious if this will close the door to opportunities (product marketing, non technical product manager) in tech in the future. Really interested in the brand management role but if I end up not liking it the comp trajectory is not nearly as good as tech and wanted to know if that door will still be open. 2YOE, if I make a switch would likely be at 4-5YOE assuming I don’t go MBA route
