If your company was changing hands, and you would eventually lose your job in six months, would you take a retention package? I think the move is to sign on for it, and use at as a bargaining chip if you get a job in the interim. Has anyone else faced this?

Yes i would take it. The first offer for severance is typically the best offer. If you wait it out your job will most likely still be cut, but the golden parachute offer won't be there.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

How do y’all deal with people at work who are stuck on stupid? Like they have no idea what they’re talking about and they REFUSE to learn. It’s like they have a god complex or something even with proof, maybe bc of their tenure at the company? Even if there’s valid data backing up that they’re wrong. Maybe it’s bc I’m a type 8 enneagram, but it frustrates the hell out of me!
So any advice would be lovely :)
