If you hit financial trouble tomorrow, who’s your first call? I’ve realized I can’t lean on my parents at all, they’re retired, and I’d rather not put that on them. Definitely changes how I think about my safety net. I have an emergency fund though but what if it gets depleted? Are you thinking about a go-to—family, friends, partner, or something more structured?

That's a situation I sure hope I never face. I could ask my parents for help, though I'd have to be utterly desperate to get them involved in my trouble. My strategy is to avoid that scenario, and I make every effort to live well within my means. I guard my money pretty carefully, and that should get me through any calamity.

My partner only, I hope I never get into that situation tho, would be messy to rely on parent.

Partner first, parents second. I'm lucky to have a ton of support that I have no intention of needing. Not that I'd have to notify my partner about financial trouble, seeing how we have a joint account.

Need advice. Currently at $142k base. 3 years and 1 month left before I max out of H1b.

Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.

Hi guys, I got an offer from x and i discussed that with my current. At 1st current said they can only give 30% increment. I said I can't stay with this cause i got 70% and expect at least 50%(as the 70% included VP and the current org don't have vp, they have bonus). Then they said they can do max 45%. I really wanted to stay here so I said okay to current. Then now hr called me and said they are matching the offer(no vp). What should I make out of it? What made them change their mind?

I realized a slow pace at work is really bad for me. A couple years ago I was experiencing burn out from my fast paced job supporting transactions, and believed by moving to a slower job in a lower cost area, I would be sailing off to the sunset. Wrong, I spend weeks following up with other teams, often times they forgot what we discussed, so I spent 50% if the time reminding them of the topics and next steps. I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.
