I just got a refurb Dell Latitude E7240 from New Egg and am very happy. i7 and 16G of RAM for under $400.

2014-2015 MacBook pros are a good option especially if you can find used. Unless you think you will really get value from a touch bar they have similar performance at more than half the cost. It would help to know what you want to do? Are you a gamer, just want to stream videos?

Hi folks. I’m a data scientist at a T2/B4 firm that does fairly technical work. I am prepping for interviews to transition to SWE-data at a big tech company and currently have a little over 1 yoe.

Since prep usually takes a while for swe, I have not started seriously applying. However, I am likely to receive an offer for 110-120k at another consulting firm. I was hoping to get some thoughts from other technical folks that made the transition. More in comments

Anyone else obsess over your next career move? I’m a senior associate in a niche BigLaw group in DC. I am just now hitting my stride and can really see a path to partnership. I handle my own matters relatively independently, am generating some business, and will inherit a large book of business in my favorite space in the next year or so. The problem is that this isn’t what I want, or at least what I think I want. (Continued in comments).

GM!
im 10 weeks into my contract as a PO at a large satelline/wireless provider (synonym: plate) and the company has offered to bring me on as an internal employee.

currently i am hourly contractor at a rate of $50/hr + 2k sign on

the salaried offer is for 104k ( $52/hr)/ no bonus

problem here is that i work 48-52hrs/wk & get paid overtime, so taking this offer would actually be a paycut by about $250-300/wk

how / what should i negotiate as a fair compensation package

After reading a few posts, I think Im in the category of being underpaid. I work directly with one advisor. Fully life and securities licensed with series 7.

The only thing I don’t do is bring on new clients. I get a base of $45k, 1099inc of 20k, plus about 7k that goes into a WL plan but counted a 1099 inc.

I just started a new job. I left my previous job because the environment wasn’t healthy and almost all of my colleagues left.

How bad would it be to quit after only 2-4 weeks? Or, instead of quitting should I ask if I can move internally?
