I hear this in my head every time I read my notifications.

Hahaha. I feel so seen. This pretty much sums up my December.

Too accurate! LOL. I feel like I aged for a couple of years from the start of my practice.

I mean, you are not wrong. Overworked, underpaid, and exploited! LOL

I can feel every word in my soul and bones. Lol.

Hey fishbowl fam - I manage the revenue recognizing department at a solar company. It’s recently come to my attention that I may be being underpaid by about 10%. Id love to approach my boss with a more solid reasoning than that I know a peer with less responsibility is being paid more than me but am not sure where to start as it’s kind of a unique role. Any suggestions or salary comparisons available?

Hey all! I am in the middle of interviewing at a healthcare data startup. I've gone through 3 if 5 rounds so far and it seems promising. I originally asked for 180-200k base salary since it's a director level role and I'm coming with ~9 YOE. They said that is at the very top of their budget so I'm looking for tips on how to navigate that conversation and if that comp seems reasonable?

Need advice! I’m currently interviewing for an account executive role and there’s a couple of red flags that have come up. 1.

The recruiter is also unable to disclose why the team made that decision which makes me uncomfortable. What would you recommend?

My EOY review is coming up. Here I plan to lobby for a promotion/raise (been at company for 1.5 yrs). Some backstory: During my hiring process I was told by my now boss and VP they were also going to hire a senior engineer to help me along. They never hired such senior engineer because I have over performed and do more than they thought I could (have been told this in 2 performance reviews). Thus, is it fair to ask for a raise and promotion to Senior engineer?
