I agreed to a salary offer that was way below my pay grade. I'm now spending all my hours trying to convince myself I did the right thing and that everything isn't about money, but then you realize that's not true when you go to the grocery store and spend $200 just on needs. Anyone else learn that negotiation is important the hard way?

Following. But yes, same. I'm trying to claw my up from here.

Yes. I had no idea that you were supposed to negotiate offers until I was at my second job. I've tried to do it every time since, but I'm not great at it and it only seems to go my way about 1/2 the time.

I regret not negotiating my pay in the beginning of my career. I didn’t even know it was a thing to do but I’ve learned my lesson and will be negotiating from now on.

Hi - I have donations given to Team Everest for Nov 2021 with receipt. But IBM AskHR says no support for donations tax exemption on Form 16. Thus, the donation isn't deducted on my Form 16. Can I now update the donation directly on E-filing.gov u/s 80G for exemption or will that cause an issue ? IBM

I work in a state where abortion was previously banned and is now still pretty heavily restricted. Lately I've heard a lot of really negative and hurtful comments about patients who are picking up contraceptives, and about people who are pro-choice. I don't usually bring my political views to work, and now I feel like I honestly can't say anything without making work really uncomfortable for myself (I'm pro-choice). What should I do?

Married to a crazy rich girlfriend and it's the worst experience of my life. She can afford anything, flying first class everywhere, wears all branded stuff and she doesnt have to work for life. I am working very hard to provide for family and I am still not able to add any value to her life and she's been distancing herself. We havent had any meaningful interaction in the past 1 year too, been sleeping separately, no touch/kiss/sex or anything like that. We might be divorcing soon...

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry. I have passed the CFA level 2 exam and was wondering if I have to complete the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) as most of the job postings here mention about it. I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
