Is it a good strategy to negotiate $$$ first, benefits later? Want to get the most important thing ($$$) settled first, but worried HR would be annoyed for going back to the team again for benefits.

You negotiate everything all at once

Yes, CD1 is right. You ask for $ and benefits altogether so if you can’t get the $ you scale up the benefits

Negotiate it together. Companies can be more flexible on benefits than salary.

All at the same time. Actually gets you leverage because you can say that you want higher comp because benefits aren’t as good or whatever

I just started a new job 2 months ago, benefits and PTO don’t start until 90 days in so I still have a month before I can take off any time, and today found out my company doesn’t offer paid maternity leave.
I’m really struggling handling the symptoms and maintaining my full time job. Thinking about looking for a part time job to have more time to myself through the pregnancy since I won’t be getting a paid leave anyways, but lost on where to start looking. Any recommendations?

I can’t ever talk about anything that worries me because she just freaks out. We have kids and she has no ability to earn money so leaving would be impossible financially

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
