Don’t take life too seriously, nobody gets out alive.

Keep your head down and work hard. Under promos but over deliver. Document everything and be clear about setting expectations. Don’t assume anything and always ask if you have any questions. It’s a lot more expensive and hurts your rep a lot more by making a mistake instead of asking a 30 second question. Set boundaries with your personal life but again, manage expectations.

Is there a recommended path here? Long one, finished in the comments.

So I make around 35% below market for my titled role. My employer used “startup” as the reason when I was hired, but they’ve finally stopped using that excuse. I was fine with it, because I was promised a promotion within 12 months due to scope change. I’ve now been promoted twice, but in responsibility only. My boss said it’ll be another 18-24 months until my director promo is approved and goes into effect. More in comments

I need help!!! Got an offer for Citi Private Bank at 110k for an Associate Banker (A1) position. Considering all the bulge brackets just announced 100k base for 1st year Analysts and that every year you go up 5k, that makes me feel like they are trying to lowball. I stupidly gave a salary range during the interview of 110-140k, cuz I was guessing, but I know JPM pays 130k base for the same role. How do I get myself to 130? First time negotiating, any advice appreciated!!!

Hello All,

I recently had my managerial round with CGI. While salary discussion I was told as per company standards they can give 11 lpa. I have 3.5 years of exp as Bigdata Engineer. How much should I expect? Also shall I ask for joining bonus? My np is remaining less than 30 days.

My cleaning lady now drives to our apartment and finds street parking. She got a ticket last week for not seeing the signs. I suggested to her if the signs weren’t clear she could contest it.

I give her a nice bonus and raise each year. Do I pay it once as a good will gesture? She has other clients too that she drives too.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
