I left my great agency job for a client side job that paid 25k more. Then discovered their healthcare is almost twice as expensive and new commuting expenses mean I’m actually making less. #Depressed

If it’s any consolation, at least with your higher salary (on paper) you can probably use it to negotiate a better pay in Denver too?

260 month for parking
160 ish for gas
Higher monthly Healthcare cost
Much less free snack food

Plus the increased hours mean I lose my side hustle that was about an additional 550 a month.


Can I quit yet? It’s been 4 months.

Moving to Denver in 6 months so I guess I just gotta keep my head down, stay low and find a better gig in Denver.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
