Have you ever considered changing careers? I used to be in a religious field and found I couldn’t keep holding a job that took much more than forty hours a week. Best decision I ever made.

I think about it often, as I feel like I should be doing something useful or meaningful with my life. The problem is that meaningful wouldn't pay me as well as I'm being paid now. That's one of the ironies of corporate life, you can more or less coast along and do pretty well.

Absolutely. I used to be a teacher but I got super burnt out on the hours and the incredibly unfair expectations put on teachers. I'm much happier now.

I think that’s such a powerful realization — setting boundaries around work hours takes a lot of courage, especially when it means changing careers.

I have been considering a career change lately. I was thinking about getting my teaching certification but not sure that is the right move.

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
