If the news is making you feel helpless about the situation in Ukraine (not “the” Ukraine — that’s the Russian term), please consider donating to the country. I donated $300 through the National Bank of Ukraine.

Just Google National Bank of Ukraine and “NBU Opens Special Account to Raise Funds for Ukraine’s Armed Forces.” Select “TRANSFER FROM A CARD” and use the “Buy with G Pay.” The first time you submit it will get declined by your bank. Just wait for the fraud alert, ok it, try again.

I appreciate the sentiment and all, but Russian language doesn’t even have articles (like “the”) in it, so what kind of nonsense is that… clueless American savior complex at its finest

3 years ago I asked for a compensation review/raise, went through what felt like a ridiculous 8 MONTH long process of defending why it was warranted, only to be told no. 3 months ago I asked again and it has gone nowhere. I should add that salary bands are kept secret and I have no clue what the range for my position is. There are a decent amount of benefits in my position, the biggest being WLB, which is what has kept me here for so long. But I’m getting frustrated. What would you do?

Hey! My company is giving me a new title (previously: Senior PMM, new: Global Lead of product marketing). The roles are very similar with no material change of responsibilities. it’s the result of a re-org. Also, I’ve been deemed a high performer and approaching my 1 yr review.

In any case, as I’m waiting on the official letter, they have been very vague that they’re will be a compensation increase. In fact, this hasn’t been presented as a promotion. How would you approach this conversation?

I feel a little crazy saying this, but more money at this point doesn’t resonate. I see a ton of exit planning and boomerang threads here, but I’d take a 50% pay cut (or a 50% raise) for an exciting role. That’s totally privilege talking, but I just can’t imagine chasing extra money in PE or lateraling just for the money. No virtue signaling here at all. I actually worry on some level that I’m somehow a moron for not giving a thought to maximizing earnings.
