Love this Q from OP. What's the threshold? I'm making a very high salary now. How much of a hit is too much.

What kinda business would you start or does the results that ownership can create matter more?

I say if the main goal is beyond making money then starting a business is always worth it.

They’re two different things. If the idea of putting in a bunch of work to build and create something that you envision with some risk it may not succeed doesn’t appeal to you, raise that threshold by a lot.

The real question is: why do you need to choose one or another

As someone who has owned and operated a handful of companies in the last few years. I feel like the small business can be so mentally and physically draining and isolative. I am pivoting from entrepreneur to something in corporate to hone my skills and learn more about the higher levels of management.

Owning a business is physically & mentally draining to be honest but a rewarding feeling. Your stress is worth it once you see the results of all your hardwork. However, it takes a while to achieve this, so you need resources (financially) & a helping hand of course but for starters, you will definitely be a one man team. In terms of employment, the stress is not worth your stress hahaha I mean yes, if you love what you're doing but if you're already in a phase where in you feel crap at work then it's not worth it. So, what I'm saying is choose your stress wisely hahaha

A person was facing a toxic and tireless work culture. Out of desperation, he switched to a different organisation just offering the same salary.

Now, after joining and signing a 1 year bond he came into his senses and got a mixed feeling that the salary is still same and not matching as per market standards so again he became sad.

Now think he is your good friend, so what would you have advised him?

I've recently started in an IT company 3 months ago with little IT work experience but holding an associates in Computer Science. Part of the contract stated I would get a salary bump if I completed X amount of certs in 3 months. I've smashed those certs out of the way while aggressively completing tickets from our que as efficiently as possible. Other team members have noticed my drive / ambition and have pulled me onto projects.
How do I got about asking for a raise?

Hi - I am pretty sure I will receive an offer for a university HR role paying at least 150K. The recruiter says "everyone here pretty much " works from home. I need a remote position for a number of reasons.. I'm concerned because the job posting says its a hybrid role. I am not that interested in the position itself but the money is great, it is a dir. position and it would advance my career. I'm willing to come in for meetings but hybrid is out of the question. Any suggestions?
