Has anyone else experienced this? The whole store is empty and all you hear is crickets, and then literally the entire neighborhood decides to come in at the exact same hour? It's usually like 4-5 PM for me. It almost makes me feel like it's all coordinated. Do you have a time like this? And shouldn't we be getting paid a little more for these crazy hours?

Yep, always happens. The store just flips to total chaos out of nowhere, and it feels like some secret neighborhood plan. It's both weirdly energizing and exhausting, and higher pay for those rushes would make a world of difference in feeling valued but its never happening so lets not talk about things and get our hopes up.

We have these ebbs and flows too. They're pretty predictable. Super busy 7-8 AM and 5-7 PM during the week, all day on the weekends.

They all decide to show up at like the last half hour before we close and take forever to leave!

If we want to complain about demand pricing (which I think we should resist), we also can’t ask for demand pay. Plus, it’s unpredictable. Like yes, we can see trends of our busy/peak hours, but one day you could get a bus tour on a normally slow hour, and another day, maybe theres a school event so less people show up in a peak time.

Oh yes, I know exactly what you mean! It’s like one minute you’re twiddling your thumbs, and the next the place turns into rush hour chaos. For me, it’s usually around 3-4 PM. Totally agree..we should get some hazard pay for those “everyone shows up at once” hours!

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.

I have my annual review coming up and want to hear thoughts on what a reasonable raise expectation is. I report to the COO and currently make $94k + up to 10% annual bonus based on company hitting their revenue goal + I have 3000 stock options. I have 3 YOE in customer success but pivoted to a non technical program manager role at a series c tech startup last September. I have been getting consistently positive feedback at quarterly reviews. What raise should I aim for?

I’m a recruiter who would like to eventually pivot to HR but I don’t have an HR degree. I’m considering pursing a Masters degree however am torn between HR or Org Psych/Org Development. Would love to hear folks’ perspective of either degree!
