I work as a Business Partner supporting 4 different divisions. The Finance Controller reached out asking the % allocation of my time across the 4 divisions, they didn’t give me much context as to why they’re asking. I am not comfortable answering the question but I may also be overthinking it. Any advice on how to go about this? Essentially, each of the division pays a portion of my salary and I’m just worried that my answer would have any impact on me, not necessarily the salary but anything

Hmmm, from a Finance standpoint, allocating operations staff between cost centers is a common activity. Idk in terms of ulterior motives.

In any case, I'd provide ranges for each. "I spend between 15%-40% on Division X. The higher end occurs when their sales spike or they send Excel workbooks that need cleanup."

Look at the number of headcount you support in each division. If your estimates are in that ballpark you will be fine.

I would think he’s asking so they can allocate the budget accordingly across the 4 divisions based on the %s.

I just got an offer for a senior software developer role at $150k starting. It is a small start up with 28 people in the team and AI driven. My recent salary was $118 so it is quite a jump for me and I really liked the VP I spoke to. Very somber and smart guy.
However, I have several other interviews coming up ranging from big corporate to app companies. Shall I decline the current offer to explore more or accept it but push my start day to later so I could stillbdo the other interviews?

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?
