As far as billionaires go, I'd argue Buffett is much more in touch than the majority of the rest. I also didn't read this as him saying salaries don't matter at all, just that finding a place where you can learn and grow (and in turn earn more money) is the smarter long term play.

I don't think he's out of touch at all. In fact, I think Millennials & Gen Z are already in the mindset of prioritizing freedom over money. I know many who took the lesser paying job because they like the culture more at one company or they liked the people/managers more. I think quality of life and work life is becoming more important vs the number. And i think that's what he's getting at here.

I'm sure there was a time when it made sense not to worry too much about your salary fresh out of school. However, that time is not now. With the current incoming and the cost of housing, food, basical living needs, salary has to be everyone's first concern.

He tries so hard to come off as down to earth too, but that’s literally impossible for one of the worlds richest people

It’s just tone deaf and it’s not so much them and what they are saying, it’s what we are all going through that makes it that way. I actually really agree with the premise, focusing on what the company can do for you, people you’ll gain as contacts, solid advice. However, to live a bare basic lifestyle, we need to worry about salary right now.

I know that people say it’s all about story, but with a certain gpa/gmat score is there a “floor” that you’re safe on? For example would someone with 4.0/780 (not me) be pretty much assured at least 1 M7? Or is there a reasonable chance that all M7s will reject them? Or is their floor just lower (T15 for example)?

When would be the right time for me to get an MBA given my background?

I was a teacher for 4 years and transitioned into the corporate world. I have 6 months experience in marketing and that’s what I currently do, but plan for a lateral move in the future. I’ve seen suggestions of 3-7 years experience - does my teaching experience factor in? Or should I consider the 3-7 years only of my corporate time? Or is an MBA sooner a good move because of my big career transition (and future lateral)?

Good morning!

Still trying to figure out this whole Fishbowl thing, so here goes my first post.

I would love to get into provider credentialing, but all employers I've looked at want at least 3 years of experience. So, I'm looking at Provider Network Coordinator roles, because I'm finding some of those roles don't need AS MUCH experience. I'm a RHIT, and have been working in healthcare for nearly 10 years.

Any input on employers is appreciated!

Is this new job DOA? I’ve been in my new role 6 weeks after interviewing extensively and getting 5 offers and thinking back on those offers I turned down. I picked this company bc I liked their product and the manager, but I’m already feeling 1. REALLY silo-ed . Not a collaborative environment (even though I’m perfectly capable of doing my own thing.)Like I have entire days I don’t talk to anyone 2. Can’t seem to get my boss’s attention on my priorities that truly should be huge company issues

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role. I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
