I just got a full-time offer, but have some doubts about the agency (based on a couple of my interviews and what I’ve read on Glassdoor / Fishbowl). Is it possible to negotiate to start freelance before moving to perm? If so, are there any reasons why this would be a bad idea?

Has anyone made the move from cyber security at the Big4 to cyber security for media companies? For example Disney or Warner Bros.

How did you manage it?

Accionlabs - 23Fixed + 1L Joining bonus
Iqvia - 21Fixed + 1L joining bonus
Pwc - 22Fixed + 1L joining bonus
Virtusa - 21.5 Fixed + 1L joining bonus

YOE - 5.2Yrs.

In this IQVIA is product based and I heard wlb is good. Thought of joining there but they are not going beyond 21F.
Whereas I can even negotiate with virtusa or accionlabs to increase the package further. What can I do now?

Seeking advice: I am a young sales consultant and sales engineer working for a tech startup company. I have 6 years of sales experience. And I have been helping run my family business for the past 10 years. I was intially interviewed for a senior account executive position at a $70k offer. Instead they told me I needed more training and hired me as a Junior account executive at a $50k salary + commission. Today is my 6th month mark and I have done very well. And no talks of a promotion / raise..

Is it common to negotiate software engineer salary at smaller companies? I know it’s common at FAANG, but what about for companies with around 200 engineers? I have a counter offer from my current company and on-site interviews scheduled for end of July with google and Amazon, but I’d prefer to go with the smaller local company if I can negotiate the salary (from offer letter) up another 5% or so.

I really feel like I should be excused from this "diversity and inclusiveness" training stuff lmao. It's about implicit bias and I'm sorry it's just not believable coming from an old white man's mouth when there are maybe 4 non-white associates. We're having these meetings 3 times this week. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I love teaching art but am having to teach remotely to 1150 kids, k - 5. Have about 54 amazing elementary art teachers in my district that share SO much! I could retire (34 yrs), but just don’t want to because I love what I do! Feeling like my students aren’t getting what they should because I am struggling with Zoom, Microsoft, safe YouTube, bitmoji, embedding, downloads, editing, etc. Anyone else feeling this way?

🐠, need opinions/advice. Persistent recruiter asked me to consider having an exploratory convo with a company for a VP role even though I’m not looking to make a switch. That casual convo has morphed into two interviews this week, one with an SVP and EVP and one with the global head of the practice. It would be a $65k bump in salary. Worth going through with it? Should I mention that I’m not actively looking to leave my current job? Been here 6 months…
