Montrose advanced dentistry. They’re the only folks I haven’t had this happen with.

They have specifically undersold me when they had options that I really didn’t need.

They’re also nice and my appointment always starts right at the scheduled time.

BLVD dentistry in the galleria! Best staff and dentist I have encountered. They are prompt and I have never had any issues in the years I have been with them. I even moved out of state and would get my cleanings and appts done when I was in town for awhile and they were really accommodating. They also provide discounted whitening services after each of your cleaning appts if u choose to do it which is something i miss as my out of state dentist doesn’t operate like them. I would do my cleanings and whitening and be in and out within the hour with BLVD

Uptown Dental. On the north end of Uptown Park. Shawn Rodgers is a good dude. Doesn't do things just because insurance would pay for it. I left my last couple of dentist when it became clear they were just attempting to siphon as much out of insurance as possible.

Smyl dentistry in MKT. I have never in my life looked forward to medical "work" but I truly love this dentist. He is kind and calm and charges so much less than others I've seen.

I hated midtown dentistry.

My first ever meeting with midtown dentistry for a cleaning and the dentist pointed out cosmetic defects in my teeth without being asked (crookedness). I was then uncomfortable and agreed to discuss straightening. Getting clear aligners through midtown was one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made with regards to cost and level of care. They constantly dismissed me.

I have an interview tomorrow with a recruiter who contacted me through LinkedIn. I believe I am way under-qualified for the position and I pointed that out to her, but she responded with several points from my resume as to why she believes the role is a good fit with my experience. It would be a leap, but maybe I need to take it as a challenge and not limit myself? I just don’t want to get in over my head and fall flat on my face. What are some questions I could ask during the first interview?

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE
