Our family is thinking about moving to Houston from Canada. I've played and refereed soccer for a very long time. Do you know which organization I'd connect to start reffing soccer in Houston/Woodlands area?

I wanted to flag so others can know, I live in mcol and I just received an offer for 120k base and a 15k signing bonus. I have three years of experience. I asked for a signing bonus and a 110k salary. If you are a senior, you should definitely be applying and just see what comes up. Crazy the market for seniors right now

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

Would you accept sr cloud architect role at 185k + bonus + vested stocks (locked 4 years) from MS when you are already making 205k +50k vested bonus(locked 3 years)in current organization ?

Any PMs here I can talk too?

Just out of curiosity, have you ever started a new job and thought what the hell am I getting myself into?!?
If it was the wrong fit how long did you grin and bear it? 6 months / 1 year / longer?
Did it get better with time or worse? (For instance just a case of lack of know-how)
If you left did you find securing a new job difficult due to only being there for so little time?

Do you have a favorite portable monitor that you can hook up to your laptop?
