Hi Fishes,
What should be the salary for Manager / Sr Manager having 14+ yoe in project/product service operations? I am at 32 lpa which I think is quite low having worked with top consulting firms for close to 12 years.

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?

Okay, ever since I came home tonight my dog has been INTENSELY staring at me, following me around and staying close. Just me, not my husband or kiddo. All of his needs have been (food, water, bathroom). Not sure if something is wrong or if he’s trying to bond. Please help!

How do I evaluate this offer from a Series D startup? got an offer that looks like this:
- Base: $150k-160k
- Equity: 20k-15k options

It’s my first startup offer so I find this a bit confusing/unusual. They said the combo depends on the base I choose. The ratio isn’t really one to one, so how do I know which combination in the range to choose?

Also, can I still negotiate when they already set the range? Like more options for $160k base vs what they capped at 15k?

How much can I disclose on my resume regarding a deal I worked on? It is public knowledge now as it was announced during earnings season, so I feel I can include the details that were announced (parties involved and purchase price)

Offers are:

225, different role, Cybersec vendor

Currently 125 with pretty poor benies.

How can I leverage those offers into more comp where I’m at?

Associates, do you want to be copied on emails to service providers/vendors (like CSC, CT, etc)? My thought is you get a billion emails everyday and don’t need more, but maybe I’m wrong?

As a new manager (~1/2 year in), I still find myself deferring a lot to partners. For example, “here’s what I think but let’s confirm with (partner/md)”. Not all the time, but often enough to notice. @Is this something I should be doing? Does it matter?

How do I handle a situation where a supervisor questions comes off as she sees me as stupid and is belittling me?

When on this other client, she wanted to do call. I responded I was at a client, and she was upset and believed I should respond her questions concerning her job. I was in a conversation with a client at the time.
