I’m a Sr. PM at a small startup (less than 60 people), and I discovered that the CEO plans to hire a junior PM. They created a job description asking other collaborators, except for me, or even mentioning that he’s hiring. Do I have a right to be offended?

Not sure if you have the right to be offended, but I would question why, since you are a product manager and know what the responsibilities' are...are you going to be managing this person?

I understand why you're offended, especially since you haven't been consulted and others have. I would ask about your responsibilities regarding the junior PM, and what of your responsibilities are going to be delegated to them if any.

I wouldn't necessarily be offended, but I'd be suspicious I guess. What made them choose to keep me out of this process? If I were super busy, I might understand...but I'd still expect to know. I'd talk to whoever headed up the decision if I knew who it was.

I would just let it go.

No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

Been on a project for 2 weeks and thinking it’s not for me. The manager is kind of rude when I ask for help/direction, but he always says to ask if things are uncertain. He always has this condescending attitude and just keeps telling me that he expects more of someone at my level, C. I just keep feeling anxious that I’m not meeting expectations and feel reluctant to ask for help. Anyone in the same boat?

Burned out in current role. 10-plus years post-MBA experience in Corp Fin role unable to move up to Director due to lack of "scope" - limited to no opps. Currently, work 40-50 hours week (minimal to no weekends) and earn ~250 TC. Work day is "intense" - many quick turnaround projects from task to task.

Is it worth shopping around? Can I get promo to Director level at another Tech company, earn more and still maintain same level of hours (limited weekend work)? Less intense days possible?

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?

Capgemini has verbally promised me 9 LPA but the offer is yet to be released.
Deloitte India has not yet communicated any offer, neither verbal nor formal.

I am more inclined towards joining Deloitte India as it is a bigger position than Capgemini.
