I’m currently at a hospitality design firm in the DC area and while i love working on cool hotel projects, the work culture is toxic. Coworkers all gossip about each other, coworkers pass off blame when things go wrong on a project, and the principal doesn’t do anything about issues. The firm has no structure, workflow, standards, etc. and the company is very cheap and does not invest money into their staff. I make 65k with 4 yr experience. Should i leave?

Continued… We can only work remote 1 day a week which really sucks after being remote during COVID. I’m struggling to find another job in just hospitality but it’s so bad that I’m willing to work on other project types to get out. How much should i ask for salary?

Yes, leave. You already sound like you know what to do. I think salary will all depend on where you end up… a small boutique firm vs. large corporate firm vs. mid-size.

If remote work is what you prefer, there are design companies out there, but it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. That being said, my company is fully remote and hiring. Arch/Interiors with a small engineering group focused on retail. Feel free to DM me if interested.

Do any carriers in Europe pay salaries equal to their American counterparts? I’ve found that the salary for my role is pretty much halved across the Atlantic.

I know that my company, Chubb, does and from time to time they have rotational programs where not only do you maintain your US salary but you also get COLA and a housing allowance, unfortunately nothing right now nor permanent.

Another option would be insurance companies that pay your American salary while working abroad.

Any leads?

Is this worth asking to set up the more standard panel for me even if it takes longer to schedule? Or is this a non-issue? Just want an equitable experience
