I agree! Wow, was that fund amazing! We should go on strike or at least start a petition until they bring back the Wow fund! I’ll start the petition, I hope you sign.

Context: WOW fund is an expense for commuting, mileage, or babysitting/pet sitting for going to the office, client, or team outings.

If I had a nickel for everytime someone confused the wellness fund with the wow fund, I wouldn’t need to beg on here for them to bring it back

uplifting

Yes definitely. I’m expected to get to client office 3 days a week while 90% of my team works from home. It’s unfair if I’m not allowed to reimburse just because I happen to be in same city as that of my client

That’s what you signed up for. Many have been there

Total waste of money. Would rather it be spent on raises and bonuses

I know a lot of people who don’t use the wow fund. That “wasted” money can be re-allocated somewhere else.

Did they say it wasn’t coming back?

Hasn’t been confirmed if it is or isn’t. Hearing it is but nothing legit.

They told our practice it was coming back?

WOW

Prayer answered!

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?

After 5 years of freelancing (which I have loved) I am considering a full-time gig. Although COVID is in the back of my mind, this is more about what I’ve been lacking since FL: consistent team, seeing an idea all the way through, challenging myself to grow, being exposed to latest tech trends to better my ideas... I know I can always go back to FL if FT doesn’t work out, but curious where others’ heads are at these days. Am I crazy to consider going back to the golden shackles?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
