I am currently having thoughts about how I should advance my career, and which path I should take.

I currently am compensated about 250k TC as a Senior Staff Engineer. I am wanting to reach for double, not necessarily any time in the near future (my goal is ~5 years). I currently have 10 years of experience. I feel that I am already pretty close to the pay ceiling for my role.

Should I be shooting for Principal engineer or a Senior Manager/Director/VP seat for my goals?

3 attorney firm. I’ve been here for 6 years and have used Westlaw exclusively. Now we are switching to Lexis because apparently Westlaw is too expensive. I hate change. I know where everything is on Westlaw and now I need to relearn. Apparently Westlaw will not budge on price and would rather just see a client leave than work with them. Super annoying. Any insight on negotiating Westlaw or transitioning to lexis?

Hi Fishes,

If the gross CTC is more than 120K in Poland, tax will be 32% right?

Are there any other deductions apart from this?

My assumption is, we get atleast 68% of our gross. Are there any ways this can further reduce?

Asking for a friend: how to best save for retirement if company doesn’t offer either traditional or Roth 401k? Base 150k, bonus has varied between 150-400k for past few years. Fully remote gig, income taxed at NJ rate where they’re based if that matters. I vaguely guess that means they can’t do IRA but not sure... Thanks

My boss wants be to travel at around 25-26 weeks, and I honestly don’t want to. Last time I traveled it caused some swelling in my feet and other random complications. Boss seems to have no sympathy either. It’s a long 5 hour flight even if it does end up being a smooth trip. Plus, once I’m there lots of extra time in cars and traffic.

Dear Fish Bowlers!

I need help!

I have an offer from a company where my salary is 30% higher than my current place, and the benefits are great. I'm pretty happy with the overall package , only negative is my 4 weeks vacation will turn into 3. They've already said no to matching my 4 weeks.

I will sign with the company but I wanted some advice on how to negotiate -- if needed at all. Or maybe ideas on what else can be negotiated? They did mention the possibility of stock options later.

Hi All, I have been offered 145k with no 401k match, no Bonus and no relocation cost for moving from CA to NC. This is the job offer for Java Back end engineer through Randstad (for fidelity ) . Is that good to take the offer ?

Have you ever negotiated an annual raise? Could you get it raised or do you just say “thank you” and move on?

Can someone please share the information about the salary range for a Cloud Architect role in Captech in DC area.

Just have to say - at the beginning of the year I jumped ship where I was (a bank) where I was making $39k a year, to another bank where I am making $45k a year and have a 2 weeks on, 2 weeks work from home schedule. My new company is great and it was a significant raise. Now, this inflation is absolutely killing my wife and I, since we had a lease renewal happen last month. Would I be out of line to ask for a raise after 6 months? I know my coworkers all make at least $5k more a year than me.

I definitely feel like the shipyard is low balling our salaries in Newport News. I am an Electrical Engineer with 9 years of experience, plus 3 years as a electrical technician at Dominion Power and only making $81,000/ year. Pretty low right? I just want to know what exactly am I worth when an offer is on the table. I&C experience, ship power experience, high voltage experience, etc.

Has anyone here ever been on the receiving end of a PIP? Ie 30 day performance review? What was your experience during that window and leading up to (hopefully) quitting to take another job or getting fired? Do people just ride it out and accept their fate and interview their tails off? Would love to hear how they were treated, what mental toll it had, and how to accept you were getting fired before you got fired? And telling coworkers?

I have never worked at a start up before but this will likely be my next career move in the next year. Negotiation of RSUs is something that’s important to me. Those who have gone through it, how have you gone about maxing out RSUs in offer package?

Current position is $45k year, full time but only a 30hr week. Also, no responsibility and little to no actual work. I play Switch or read most of the time. Was bored and picked up a side project, which impressed the boss. I have a meeting on Thursday with the president of the company for a Social Media/Marketing dual role position. I *know* they’re going to lowball me at $50k. How can I turn it down with tact OR convince them that I’ll need $70k+ to be worth the stress and hassle?

Is is possible to ask for a raise just based on what I’ve seen on the market ? This past months many firms have contacted me and total comp is higher in general (for the same industry). Or do I need to have an offer letter in order to ask for the raise ?
