My counselor and I don’t click, talking to each other is awkward. He’s very senior and he would play an important role in my promotion. I’m confused whether to ask for a new counselor or not...ideas?

M1 Not so sure... counsellors play a fundamental role if you want to get promoted (besides doing a good job). I had a similar experience in my previous firm and based on that I’d probably change him. It’s all about politics, politics, politics...

Keep the manager, but also find someone you click with and use them as a trusted advisor. Besides, the more people you have in your corner, the better the chance of promotion

Don’t worry about the awkwardness. That definitely won’t impact your promotion. Just work hard and you’ll get it.

Agree, talk to them and get a feel for whether they view you positively! That’s more important than any awkwardness.

I see two crowds these days. One thinks housing market will crash. The other thinks housing market will soar.

The contrarian in me makes me think this is a decent indication that housing market will stagnate (or increase minimally) for a few years.

Hi!

I recently did a job interview and I made it clear to the HR my expectation salary is 60k a year, non negotiable.
Today I got the job offer and they are offering me 54k. My current company is making me 50k with tons of benefits which is why I am asking for 60k.

Should I accept the offer or renegotiate?
