I have been in the 'Staff Accountant' role at my firm for over 5 years, but whenever I started, I was the receptionist, so I have worked at the firm for 10+ years in total. I transitioned from receptionist to legal assistant to litigation assistant and finally ended at staff accountant.

I'm currently making less than $22/hr with no formal accounting training/certificates. When I started as the receptionist in 2016, I was making $14/hr.

Is asking for 28/hr too much? Last raise 2 years ago.

Any good photographers for a birthday shoot in Portland,Oregon?

What do you all think about LaBrea/MidWilshire as a place to live? I’ve been toying with the idea of living close to the LACMA (I know, it’s closed) but I don’t know if I’m romanticizing this.

I recently joined Swiss Re at 30lpa, pretty good manager and work culture. Got a hike of 10% in 3 months without me asking for it. But got an offer from another company which I was interviewing for before joining here and they are offering a base of 45lpa. Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?

Any non-fiction book recommendations? I normally don’t like NF but recently read Bad Blood by John Carreyrou and loved the style/pace. Any similar recs?

Through a lot of comp discussions I heard a lot of talk of “making you whole” when things get better. Am I drinking the kool-aid by believing this? Is this just meant to prevent further questions that the firm does not know the answer to?

What are your go to sources for news? I am considering subscribing to The Ken.. is it worth it? Alternative suggestions welcome.

Any idea what's the range and should I negotiate?

Only For MacBook Users -
I slightly dropped my MacBook and apparently (slightly) damaged the keyboard and trackpad as per service Center. I don’t see any visible damage to the system but that’s what they say and are charging me about 28k for this even though my system is in warranty period (will complete a year in a few days). Are there any workaround for this? Like I can use external keyboard or maybe negotiate, anything else?

Are my crypto profits taxed?

Well yes. Crypto is taxed like stocks & other types of property. When you sell for a profit, you are required to pay tax on the gains. It’s called capital gains tax.
