Listen, I'm not a political person, but I'm not enjoying this debate on whether congress deserves a raise. I work at least two to three times more hours than these people and I'm making almost $100,000 less a year, and THEY think they deserve a raise? If they can't live off $174,000, then why should the rest of us live off less than $100,000? #endofrant

Give them a raise and make it significant, but restrict their trading. No more individual stocks or leverage plays. Only ETFs, Indexes, and Mutual funds. Get rid of corruption.

Remember 174k is the base. Throw in retirement and other free items….like haircuts, travel, staffing, etc. must be good income as one of the House members reported a net worth of 30 million. Great move from poverty in Somalia to millionaire in the USA! Wanna talk about the “poverty” of Pelosi ?

Because they do not respect US tax payers!

Well, that is so stupid! Keep your head buried in the sand. They have ripped off the US taxpayers and you don't want their names mentioned. Sounds like you want to give a medal to everyone! All the crap going on in Maine, Minnesota, and California and elsewhere and you want to play I got a secret! Sounds like you need to move to Iran or Somalia!

When someone making a hundred grand less than Congress can still manage their life better than the people paid $174K to run the country, maybe the issue isn’t the salary — it’s the distance from reality. Don’t perform poverty from a cushioned seat while the rest of us are out here doing the math they've forgotten how to do.

The sad thing is the Federal govt has not investigated how Pelosi got so much wealth of millions on such a meager salary of 174k!! The IRS just challenged my return for a $600 deduction for installing a new furnace because I didn't include the required form!

Industry imposter here…How do you show progression on your resume when your internal levels changed, but the title doesn’t indicate a promotion to the rest of the workforce. (e.g. a senior product manger to a technology strategist)…It seems like a lateral move unless you were internal and knew it was a level 7 to level 8.

Career advice?

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?
