Go to the grocery store and practice mental math.

1. Calculate price per gram of whatever you’re buying. Check on the price tag or using calculator.
2. Estimate cost of your grocery bill before checkout. Add in tax. If you don’t buy the ice cream, what percent cheaper is your bill?
3. Estimate General Mills shelf space share. If cereal is a $30B industry and shelf space is a proxy for share, what is their market share?

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?
