Manager 1 here. Need some advice. I have paternity leave soon but I am in the last stages of interviewing for a controller position for a 30k increase in base plus 15% bonus potential. Job kind of fell in my lap and it sounds like it’s mine to lose at this point. Wife supports me either way. What do y’all think? I currently make 89k as a newly promoted manager so I know I am underpaid. Lol

Can you delay start date to take some paternity?

That’s more than a 30% bump. Take it.

First, you are way underpaid for a manager, second because of that, you should definitely take the job. You will also be helping EY increase their Voluntary Separations, so a win win for the both parties

Do what’s best for the baby. If this new job is more money and a better work life balance, I’m not sure this is a hard decision at all. Don’t feel bad for EY and do what’s best for you and your family. Also, congratulations on the new baby, that’s very exciting and life changing news!

Assuming you stay at EY, how are you planning to take leave? All at once? A few weeks after the baby is born and the rest when your wife goes back to work? Intermittently?

I would continue interviewing, and bring it up when you get an offer. I would be willing to be flexible about it and (I am not familiar with all the parental leave laws and it varies by state/size of employer) be willing to take part of the leave unpaid, and maybe not try to take all the time you would have at EY.

Maybe you can negotiate a start date after the baby is born, or maybe you can start for a few weeks, take a few weeks for the birth, and then head back. If it’s yours to lose they might be willing to work with you on start date and/or taking some leave after you start.

Good luck!

Hello! I’ve been working as a photographer for 15 years both as an employee and a freelancer. I started working full time with my current company a year ago. They’ve just offered me a new position: Creative Services Manager (in house for 4 related brands). I have no official experience in this field and had never heard of it before but feel like it will essentially be a creative director. I will also maintain the photography duties for the time being. Any idea what salary I should ask for?

I’m currently a Recruitment Consultant at an RPO with 4.5 YOE in Toronto. I received a salary raise last year. Recently I had another conversation with my manager for a comp raise. They was able to speak with their higher ups. Unfortunately, I got to know that they wouldn’t be able to increase my pay because of the economy. I’ve been working on heavy req loads and multi projects. But they are signing me up for a leadership program with a potential raise next year. Thoughts?

I'm applying for a job at Company X. Is there a way to see what web/print advertising/collateral they have produced in the past? The work is not shown on their external agency's site. It's a smallish company.

I was recently offered a “promotion” from Senior Director to… a Senior Director with a much bigger team.

I’m basically doing the same role the VP did before me (brand, campaigns, strategy, design, web, content all under me).

I was offered NO pay bump with the additional responsibility and NO title change. My base is 200k… and my highest paid direct makes 180k for doing about 1/2 the work. I get no equity because we’re private.

I work for a very profitable tech company. Is this fair?
