Considering a move from a larger BigLaw firm to Fox Rothschild, primarily to work on matters I’m more interested in, but hopefully to also have a slightly better work life balance. I know it would be a pay cut though, and their various covid cuts have me concerned as well.

Hey i had my HR discussion with Infosys HR, they are not even ready to match my counter offer, they will release the offer tomorrow, how to renegotiate now, any tips, they are saying they can't go beyond that for the role.

1- Where to learn/refresh about Options; 2- resource to download or analyze stock data (historical prices) as well as key metrics (PE, YoY revenue growth) to identify stocks as outliers either for shorting or as investment 3 - Paid or unpaid resources that discuss ideas and trends (not necessarily just stock picks).
thanks in advance. And happy holidays!
