How large is a typical VP’s org? I’ve worked places where VPs managed 50-250 people and others where there where many VPs has less than 10 people under them. I know there are a lot of factors but what’s typical?

The two I work with have ~100 in their orgs. But then my manager is a director and I'm his only report, so who knows?

At Google, I'd say it's usually 150-400 people.

Similar for us.

HP it varies by business unit and segment of the business (hr, finance, sales) but 50-150

All the Product and Tech VPs have 10 or less and a 1 or 2 have < 20 where I work. About 600 people in the company.

depends on the size of the company, for starters

My VP has ~100 people in his org total but with only 3 direct reports including me.

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

$530k HHI, $250k cash on hand, $1.2M investments/retirement. Plan to buy $800-900k house as our first home, but thinking of the best approach given rates today. My thinking is that we (i) put $200k+ down and get a 5/1 ARM. (ii) put everything we save moving forward toward paying down the principal (after maximizing retirement accounts). Should be able to do $100k per year. (iii) If rates go down below 4.5ish % for 15 year fixed, refinance and stop aggressive payment. Thoughts on this approach?

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise. I know he was the provider of the household and his wife didn't have a job since she was raising three young ones. Needless to say, I had to take off because I felt terrible, sick to my stomach. How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.
