I got a raise at work and while I always just put away my extra money into my savings or spend it on my kids, this time I want to get myself something expensive. Don't know exactly what, but I know I want to taste of bit of that high life and make an indulgent purchase. Any ideas for me??

Depends on your budget? And what you like.

Do you like bags? Then a Louis Vuitton tote or small purse
if you like jewelry - then get a simple Tiffany bracelet if you like name brands or go to a jeweler and get a custom piece.
If you like food, then book at a 2-3 star Michelin restaurant.
If you like skincare then book yourself an all day spa with massage and facials.
If you like travel then book yourself a vacation somewhere

A high quality bag. Take your time and see several.

Get yourself a nice piece of jewelry or a purse. I love looking at the watch I got with my first big bonus and it’s been a great reminder for years of what I can do for myself.

Travel?!

I would always go for a vacation with any extra money I have. I also like staycations, so that way I'm not stressed about leaving town and mentally preparing for that. Sometimes a simple staycation can really change perspective for me and remind me what I can give myself when I have the money!

I went for Cartier.

If you're an experiences person is there a show or event you wanted to attend but never have because of the cost? Like one of the Vegas residencies, or jazzfest in New Orleans, a Broadway show in NY, a favorite artist that's on tour you've been wanting to see live? You can also rent a small yacht or take a luxury cruise. If you do the cooking, hire a private chef for a day/week to do cooking.

It’s always a vacation for me lol

Donate to those less fortunate. You’ll feel better than spending it on a bag.

Personally, I’m not into bags or shoes, but I would go to a really really nice spa for the afternoon, by yourself, then maybe get a really nice blowout

Buy gold jewelry if you’re into it.. 22k

Starting the interview process with another company in industrials, and my current TC is ~$600k. Headhunter wants to chat about comp expectations - anyone have advice on how to approach? Is there a minimum bump people tend to shoot for before making the jump (e.g. 25%)? Trying to keep it clean and focus on annual TC, but plan to also communicate I expect to be made whole on my unvested RSUs . TIA!
