I would always take people manager over IC role. That then opens you up to take on bigger teams and more responsibility aka higher levels.

That’s true and it would be harder to explain in the future “so you had a team, and then went back to not having a team, and now you want a team again….. why?”

I think I’m getting hung up on the base being the same for both role but one I would have more responsibility/a team, and the other I would be an IC.

Do you want to manage a team or do you want to be an IC?

Otherwise the days of first one and bonus seem better…

First deal seems better to me

Better medical benefits as well - definitely is a better deal. A bit nervous about recession hitting finance hard but retail will probably get hit harder…..

Hi everyone,

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?

I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.
