Just got hired into a management role for 90k for the first time. I’m struggling as this is my third week and my manager isn’t around and I’m dealing with some client issues I haven’t seen before - my friend (not in the industry) told me that I shouldn’t expect more guidance at this salary bracket. Experienced huge incoming surge of imposter syndrome. Is this reasonable?

Has anyone else hit the airplane mode button on their laptop when they get asked a hard question by the client they simply cannot answer. Hoping someone else will answer while I get "reconnected".

Can anyone help me wrap my head around this post Series C start-up equity offer? It’s an IP director position, the the base is $170 with 10% bonus (both lower than I was expecting). There’s also an equity component: 0.15% of current fully diluted equity. This equates to about 30000 shares at a strike price of $2. They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.

How do you get past bad experience with recruiters?

Hi Fishes,

Any idea, when can we expect mid-year hike in PWC AC Kolkata?

I found out a soon to be 2nd year associate got a 10k raise making his salary 110k now, while I, the soon to be 3rd year associate got a 2k raise making my salary 107k. So now the 2nd year male associate is making more money than me. How do I bring this up to the partners?
