Join the debate! I don't see how anyone can afford to live comfortably off $1,000 a week. That's $52,000 a year BEFORE taxes.

It's not even close. My definition of living comfortably is being able to afford my own place, pay my bills, travel and still have enough left over to save without having to take on countless side hustles. Even in LCOL areas, I cannot imagine that's possible to do on $52k pre-tax.

Not in a city but smaller towns, this might be a decent salary.

Depends

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.

To clarify, I don’t have an offer yet, I’m just looking to make a move.

Thank you!
