I'm applying to a role at capgemini invent in London. I got the congrats email that I got the job but not an actual offer. I was just doom scrolling and saw people get their offers rescinded for salary negotiation. It got me feeling a bit anxious, is this likely?

If they rescind your offer, that may be the best thing for you. Crapgemini has gone downhill fast over the past 5 or so years. I spent 11 years there and the first portion of that was the best of my career…unfortunately that did not continue.

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

Trying to figure out if she could: drop insurance and charge more, scale out and build her own practice, and/or work more (could maybe see 26-28 ppl/week). Curious if anyone can share thoughts or brain power!
