Hi all! I have a question about how you’d handle something at work…
I am a PO at work in a start up and I had a large project that I needed help with so I managed to get a friend hired as a contractor on a great day rate.
She has been phenomenal (As I knew she would be!) and has now been offered a full time role, however she’s been offered $70k more than me.
She manages 1 person and I manage 18.
What would you do? Don’t want to let on I know!

Definitely fight for a competitive raise due to the value that you bring to the company. If they can’t reach the number that you decide is right for you then it’s time for you to take your talents where they’ll be better valued

Is the role comparable to yours?

Be happy for your friend, and don’t bother comparing. Do what you do best, and you will surely be rewarded appropriately.

What did you bring her in to do? How different was her remit? Could be there was a different value she came with or she could just be amazing at negotiating. What role has she been hired for?

She’s head of customer success - and a great negotiator which I’m not!

Are the experiences similar or does she have a lot more than you? Is it almost annual review time? If so, id bring it up then.

You could always apply for another job and being a competitive offer. Though I’d be careful about this.

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills. What project would you advice me to work on ? (it can be a kaggle project, or a classic task that you do at your job, or a paper that you read).
I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.
