I've tried to follow economics a bit better in the last few years, since the pandemic. It's clear that we see the costly results of a lot of bad economic decisions in our line of work. I think Financial Times is the best source for economic news

I read WSJ every day, which I know has a lot of regular news articles unrelated to business, and just FYI, has a slight conservative lean, but is mostly unbiased, but I do feel like it’s helped improve my business acumen, and has made me generally more competent/aware of important events when discussing with leadership something related to our business.

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus. I was hoping for an offer closer to 90k base and I don’t care too much for a sign on bonus. However, this is a lot more than what I’m making now, and would be my first SWE job. Should I counter? If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!

Looking for input on changing positions from a Buyer to an International Logistics Coordinator. I have international freight experience and have a potential opportunity. Financially, the move makes a lot of sense. Would this be good for career trajectory? For context, I have been a buyer for several years and this is my first 'real' job, so pretty early in my career.

Welcoming any feed back on my resume. I have been applying to supply chain roles (primarily planning and procurement) since May and have not received any interviews. Would love to hear any recommendations on what is missing and/or what kind of roles I should steer toward based on my experience. Thanks and happy holidays!
