If airlines spend $39b on stock buybacks, why would they not sell shares to raise capital at a loss, before coming to the government for bailout?

Career advice?

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?

Hello, I recently took a Sales Director position/promotion with a startup that didn’t tell me they were in financial trouble before hiring me… they’ve been late on my last 4 paychecks. Anybody know of opportunities for a sales manager? Please help.

What are effective ways of asking for a raise?

Started with the firm in April. What do you think is appropriate to ask for a raise at EOY? What's the average non promotion raises?

How do you handle being a working mom early in your career? I’m worried about being behind my peers, a lagging promotion, etc.

What are the senior to manager & manager to senior manager promotion bonuses for Big4 (or other top 10) firms?

We don't get angry even we get less hike ..but we get angry when our managers say" I tried my best for you " .."congratulations on your hike" "will give promotion in next appraisal"

How much hike percent can we expect during promotion from analyst to consultant.

How would you approach asking for a promotion at year end this year?

I’m over my company. I just recently got passed over for a promotion to a level 8 manager position. Weird thing is it is for the team I am on. I been on this team for several years and I’m the lead developer pretty much in my role. It’s ETL btw. The hiring manager said I can do the role definitely but the reason they went with someone else was they had more breadth. Anyone has thoughts on situation and/or know some good companies I should check out with roles in data?

What is the average percent raise in promotion from analyst to associate?

I’m going to ask for a raise. Anyone here work as a clinical Appeals nurse for community health systems. I’ve got eight years experience.

Hallo 🐠 got a promotion and transfer opportunity to move to Amsterdam from the US (I’m in the industry). Looking for inputs on best neighborhoods to rent a place! I’m moving with my fiancé and we are in our late 20s

When do you think is a good time to ask for a raise? My manager is a bit stingy but I totally deserve it.

Help! I’m in a position I like with a client I’m fine with, and have a GOOD work life balance and an awesome team. I got a job opportunity dropped in my lap that would be a promotion and raise, working with an old boss I love. The clients would be more public health initiatives, so less of an ethical pretzel (it’s hard running competitive against a safer/more effective drug), but I’m afraid of going back to all work no life. How do I choose?

What type of raises do you see YoY in industry? Typically a F500 company. Please leave % raise and also role. Thank you!

Hi All

Request your suggestions.

YOE : 4 Year
Role : Data Engineer

I have two offers in hand one from Tetadata and other from Accenture.

Teradata : 13 Fix
Accenture : 11 Fix + 21% Variable + 60K joining Bonus
Mindtree : 13.46 Fix

Which one is the best suitable for my experience.

Deciding factor :
1. WLB
2. Compensation
3. Yearly Increment
4. Promotion

I recently got a promotion but my pay raise was 13%. I’ve heard the saying “if it isn’t at least 20%, it isn’t a real promotion”. However I also don’t want to look this gift horse in the mouth in the midst of a pandemic. What do you think I should do?

I just got a promotion, but I feel so unmotivated and anxious. My bosses are providing me with new opportunities, but I also feel like my work the past few months hasn’t been the best and I’ve made mistakes along the way. I feel like I’m one step from them realizing i’m not as good as they think I am. I’m not sure if I need a break or a career change.

Which other schools have delayed opening F2F until September? Do you think a lot will change in that time?

What are the best things you did during pregnancy to feel better? Looking for any sort of treatments, diets, routines, supplements… whatever helped you.

I’m exhausted, nauseous, have heartburn, IBS, constant sinus pressure, chronic cough. I’m considering acupuncture but never done it before. All suggestions welcome 🙏

I interviewed at Google and cleared all onsite interviews back in July. Then came the hiring freeze and my role was de-prioritized. Now I'm being called for another position which I applied through the same recruiter before for the same group but different role. My question is will Google reuse the positive feedback and will it help/add value to this new position?

Good marketing/branding books to read?

As an AA loyal customer who just took a delta flight for the first time in months, I have a question: why did they change the uniform colors to “the color of the drying towels at the car wash”?

This might be a stupid question. But Can I have another job and do consulting? My friend wants to pay me 120k to work 1 or two hours a day during the weekdays and 5 hours Saturday and Sunday for a startup and I can be remote. He just wants my “expertise” is this legal? Can I get in trouble with my current consulting firm?

Alternatives to chrome cast? Don't want to be restricted to streaming through chrome or specific apps. I have offline movies on my pc that I want to cast seamlessly.

I am giving my first demo today. Any advice?
