I don’t know what mid level ADs make. But I know it’ll be difficult for people to give you an answer without knowing the city. NYC and SF, for example, have different demands than ATL or Chicago.

Always a student. This helps me relate to my own. Mistakes. Confusion. Oopsies like giving the wrong answer when we KNOW it. Learning keeps me off any high horse because sure as the world I’d otherwise get knocked down. We are all students in our classrooms. An indirect bonus is that the connection we make by remembering what it’s like to be a student helps us manage the class better. We relate. We admit. We connect.

Long story short- my position is being subcontracted and likely means a pay cut. My wife and I moved 1300miles for this job less than 6m ago.

We obviously don’t want to move again so quickly, and I’m more of a wet lab scientist so remote work isn’t much of a thing. I currently have an offer for 30% more than my uncut salary, local, but it’s a step down in position (Scientist to Research Coordinator). Do I take the money? Or is the title more important?

Bain & Company Hi!
I’m trying to choose between entry-level offers(undergrad AC/JC ) at Bain & Company and Boston Consulting Group.

Pros of Bain: liked the people, based out of Dubai, liked their externship program + other non-work benefits.
Cons of Bain: not that big in the ME.

Pros of BCG: interesting projects, very big sign-on bonus.
Cons of BCG: based out of Riyadh.

I’m interested in CX, Product Strategy, Digital Transformation.

Does Bain handle projects in those areas?
Is Riyadh that bad?

Thanks!

New offer from current company to move to a new team and they’re like it’s some big promotion. Current role is key accounts + a territory, 125k base + 31k and 19k additional bonus opportunities (which I’ve been hitting consistently). New role is a pay grade jump technically and just key accounts and supporting another team for some other big accounts. Pay is 158k + 27k bonus. Total comp difference is only 3% raise. I got a 6% raise in the same role last year alone. What would you negotiate?

I was dating someone for about 2.5 years and then we broke up because of COVID and the long distance was making it too difficult to continue.

After we broke up, she started seeing someone else but I was heartbroken and it’s taken me over a year to really get over everything and process those feelings. (Cont.)
