Ladies, I just got a 27% increase and a promotion! 4 years ago I was making under 30k as a secretary. I'm now less than 5k from 100k/yr. 😳 I am crying. I feel like I've made it, and I'm not done!

Huge mistake to leave when promotion is relatively soon? If I’m kind of miserable every work day? I’ve asked friends and people in my network—just wanted to crowdsource too.

🐠 I officially accepted a new job yesterday! Promotion, big raise and a new city. Can’t believe it’s real and that it’s happening to me. 😭

I'm glad to see our Hospital Administrators do something to help raise morale, because the media is not seeing all of the dedication from everyone - especially Environmental Control workers

M7 infrastructure in Texas. I'm currently paid near bottom of scale in my group. I'm not upset and love my job and my peers. I have an offer for 40% raise to industry job. I prefer my current work though, both from daily work and career path. But 40% raise is a big deal. At what point is the pay raise more important than daily work joy. I'm stressing over this decision. I don't really want to leave.

Wanted to get some thoughts. My wife works in private accounting and just got promoted to manager. We prepared for her compensation negotiation for about a week. She goes in and they low ball her with only a 4k raise. She counters with her value to the firm and the office managing partner literally laughs in her face. You guys think she should just bail? I am embarrassed that this is how they treat their employees.

New to options so appreciate the help in advance- have bought call options OOM - earnings is tomorrow - currently would make profit if I sold- but expecting good news tomorrow that would raise the underlying price.

Hello! I’m looking for advice on asking for a raise. I accepted a UX design role about a year ago within my company and I was verbally told I would receive a raise with my title change after a few months on the job. After a few months, I was told no raises because of the pandemic (understood). With a new year and recently receiving my masters in UX, when is the right time to ask for the raise with the pandemic still happening?

Transferring to a very demanding account. Have to pick up from day care few days a week, leaving by 4 and I'm pregnant due in August. They don't know yet. Is this a wrong fit? I need job security.

Help! I’m a decent teacher but admin has a target on my back this year & NO ONE knows why. I’m receiving my second write-up for an absolutely ridiculous reason (my rep agrees that it’s total crap but they manipulate the wording just-so to make it sound legit), but a third & I can be fired. I have to finish the year where I am to have my student loans forgiven. I’m terrified to go to work every day. A large part of my future is on the line & I’m stuck. It’s so unjust but I have no recourse.
