I turned down a project that would have meant working nights for two weeks straight with no additional compensation. My manager seemed surprised and said it was a “great visibility opportunity.”
Was I wrong to say no?

I find this very hard to believe. I showed my friend and they seemed surprised and said “it seems like another AI generated question.”

Am I wrong to think that?

Ya I’m a real person lol

I have trouble believing it was going to help your career in any way. IMO you were right to turn it down. Nights if you aren't used to them can ruin your health for months.

Visibility without compensation is straight up wrong

agreed!!!

Not wrong. "Visibility opportunity" is what managers say when the budget for overtime doesn't exist. Two weeks of nights for free is a real cost — sleep, health, your actual life — and visibility doesn't show up on your pay stub. The fact that your manager was surprised is worth noting too; it means the expectation was that you'd absorb it quietly. Did they end up redistributing the work or just find someone else to say yes?

bleh, hard to hear but i think you are right. i ended up just saying yes because they asked a few times!

I’ve been at my company for 8 months. I just found out another designer who has been here for several years gets an annual bonus at the end of the fiscal year. I have never been told about a bonus and haven’t gotten one yet for the previous fiscal year that ended In July. Should I have been told I get a bonus when I signed on or are they typically a surprise?

Does anyone think it’s out of the question to ask for a 20% pay increase without a promotion? My duties on our team are closer to Director-level and no other Senior PM is managing half of what I am, so I feel like I should be compensated fairly.

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?
