I just turned down a job that offered a massive $60k raise because the glassdoor reviews consistently mentioned a mandatory Saturday morning check-in. My current role is definitely underpaying me at $95k, but they completely vanish on Friday afternoon and don't care if I log in from a coffee shop as long as my deliverables are clean. I spent the entire weekend wondering if I made a catastrophic mistake. Would you trade your mental peace for a 60% jump?

I absolutely would not. I’ve hit the eject button on opportunities more than once because they expected constant availability or travel.

No. Nothing is worth your mental well being. It took me a long time to figure that out but once I did, I make sure to tell anyone who wants to know that happiness and wellbeing far outweighs money.

I would stay at my current position because jobs are scarce now.

I always thought mid life crisis was when you get to mid life and realize you are never going to be all you thought you would be.

I turned out better than I imagined on all dimensions, and I’ve discovered a different kind of midlife crisis. The “ok, so now what?” Crisis.

Tell me someone else has this, and what do you do about it?

Do you have advice on how to interview better with Amazon?

My résumé and portfolio are great, and I’ve been asked to interview with Amazon for 4 different teams now. However, it seems like I’m not making it past the first 1:1 interview. 3 out of 4 have resulted in not the right fit for reasons unknown; they don’t provide any feedback either. I have been invited for a new interview today with another team, and I am hoping 4th time is the charm. Any tips on how to do better next time?

Thanks a lot.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
