Is $55/hr or $115k a year with no benefits for a contract role as a SR Telecom design engineer a good offer? I am stepping away from a full on hired position with benefits and taking a work from home contract.

Hmm are they literally giving you the choice between $55/hr or $115k because $55/hr does not necessarily mean $115k.

At 7.5 hours a day and 227 billable days that’s closer to 94K.

It is 40 billable hours every week

I had a really weird interview for Creative Director today.

It’s a small startup. HR interviewed me and asked all the hard hitting questions (how do you get design inspiration, how do you deal with design roadblocks, what sets you apart for this role?) which I thought was odd for a screening interview.

They made some affirmative noises then said the next step would be a design test (one pager) which I would present to a panel of interviewers including the CMO.
Anyone else think this is odd?

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
