I’m connected in LI with a lot of fractional CFO and bookkeeping business owners who constantly post about amazing WLB and how they’re so successful (i.e. $$). Is there any truth to this? I just can’t trust somebody who self promotes so much. Also what does a prospective client think when you’re bragging that you don’t work and make a bunch of money? Not trying to hate but can’t believe this is actually happening.

It’s very common in the UK. My wife is a 3 day a week CFO for a 20 person company. It’s a pretty sweet gig.

Well heck if that is the case then I guess I need to be doing that because I didn't know jobs like that required so little of a person. I would love to only work three days a week.

Hi All Fishes,
I'm a 5 year experience UI developer in Angular with very little experience in Java backend.
My current CTC is 17.5lpa and I'm thinking to switch company for personal financial reasons.

Is it appropriate to expect a salary range between 40-45lpa given my experience and skills?

Jumped from public to a job in a place run by boomers but I just wanted out of public so I took the first offer that came to me. 5 months in and I realized it's not a good fit at all. Mainly the CFO thinks no one should be working from home, and working from anywhere but the office is considered a day off to him. Is this a good reason to apply for other jobs right now?

My coworker did mention to the manager that they’re not being paid well for the work they do, and our manager took it personally and told them they’re ungrateful 🥲
