I should be due to receive a promotion this time for annual review if everything works out with my manager, etc. we’ve talked about it all year except I just received an offer with a higher salary but same level where I am now. Is it better to chase money while you’re younger or title? Mind you the company who offered me a higher salary recently went through a bankruptcy so I’m not sure what peoples thoughts are. I accepted the offer for now but might decline since I still feel iffy about it.

Stick with the more stable role is my recommended advice. You do not wanna be unemployed in this current job market. It is a living hell.

I was only unemployed for 3 months after getting laid off which is actually pretty good compared to the storied lengths I see across the tech industry. Some have been looking for a job for a year or longer. It’s rough out there.

I'd stay put if I were you. The grass definitely isn't always greener, and that extra salary won't mean much if you end up unemployed in 6 months. Sounds like you've got a great opportunity to move up where you are currently. I'd go with that.

Like I think I might but budget could cause me not too

The other company's recent financial trouble is cause to pause. If your current company has been good to you and seems to value enough to consider you for promotion, stick with them. When you get the promotion, your salary may be close to the same as the poaching company. Remember that if you change companies, you go back to the bottom of the promotion ladder.

What if it’s a 45-50% chance of getting the promotion?

I had a very positive experience interviewing with Amazon for an L5 Technical Writer role. I originally applied for a lower level writing role, ending up acing my Loop, and was passed on to speak to the hiring manager for the L5 role.

Given the positive tone of our conversation, I expect to receive an offer this week.

Can somebody tell me what kind of base salary/bonus/RSU ranges I should aim for? I'm transitioning to tech and have 10+ years of professional writing experience. PNW based.

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
