Thoughts on a Omega De Ville Prestige as a first luxury watch? Would be ~$7.5K USD at retail. Some friends have said great things about Omega as a starter, whereas others say it’s not worth it over a Rolex Oyster Perpetual (which would be similar in cost).
I personally love how clean the design is, the use of gold, and the thinner band as it links the watch … find the Rolex band design to be too chunky.

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

Loyalty from the company has been dead for years. It's been the norm for employees, (at least for the younger people in the workforce) to change companies every few years, to avoid salary compression and to gain experiences they won't be able to gain by staying in one place for 10+ years.
Unfortunately that’s true

Agree
Feels like the norm is just jumping around. I’ve asked around and everyone says the same thing
Yea
You can look for a job somewhere else, but know you’ll run into the same situation in a few years. Make job hops worth it when it comes time.
Job hoping is the norm

You said same salary level are they the same position? If so then I would ask you are you overqualified for the role and is there a reason you haven’t been promoted? If the new hire is the same level it makes sense that their salary would be close to yours and while you have more experience with the company the expectation would be that after training that would get to where you are.
And compression is normally when someone below you in title is making more then you. So if you were a senior making 80 and they hired a staff making 90 that’s compression. Years of experience really don’t matter and aside from a normal COL adjustment it normally translates into a higher salary because of promotions and increases responsibly.
