Is there a certain value that you put towards more vacation days vs pay? I have a firm that’s either offering 135k with 10 days of leave or 120 with 15 days. I’m leaning towards the 135 because I wouldn’t want to travel and save but wanted to get some more opinions on it before moving forward with the offer. Thanks!!!

$15k for 5 days!?! Those both sound like bad deals. 10 days is so low unless they have another bucket of time off. But $15k less for 5 days more is way more than your daily rate of pay equivalent.

Yeah… this was just one offer I had but the work was more meaningful. I checked and they give a few holidays but I think I’ll decline

Exactly my thoughts too D1. This penny pinching firm sounds like a shit show. I would reconsider working for them unless this is a meaningful improvement from your current state.

Thanks chief!

Some good advice on this thread. They value a week at 15k which is ok if they’re willing to pay you 735k

I think I’ll decline the offer though

Seems like a tactic to make you focus on the options vs negotiating a new option for you. Go for 135k+ with 15 days.

It’s a really small firm too so I think they’re just trying to get me in and worry later

I’d say it bodes as a sign that this isn’t a great workplace, and you might want to also research their policies around sick days and vacation days without pay before deciding.

Agreed, thanks for the double take!

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.

Hello!
Would anyone from the tech or design industry be able to give some advice in understanding if the compensation I would be getting seems less or at a good level as I am starting to a job in a new city. Here are the details:

Location: London
Offering - £65K
Role: Senior Product Designer
Organization: mid-sized in software development
My YOE: 2.5 years after bachelors then 2 years Masters in London

I would really appreciate your views! Thank you :)

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.
