POLL. In a world where your firm (i) could issue special Covid bonuses but would have to fire 10 attorneys other than you or (ii) retain the 10 attorneys and not issue special Covid bonuses, would you go with (i) or (ii)? If the threshold of 10 employees is giving you trouble, which other number would make you go one way or the other?

Be honest. I won’t judge you either way. And please don’t argue. I already know this is just a hypothetical.

Hello Fishies

I am currently working in an insurance firm for last 3.8 years as part of the senior SOC analyst.

Current CTC - 5.6 lpa
Skill sets - Incident Response, Threat Hunting
Currently based - Mumbai

This is my first company where I was hired as a fresher and moved up the ladder. While i am planning to move out, i realised i have no experience of the market standards for someone in the domain, How much are analysts in Blue Team SOCs being payed? How much should I expect?

I was having offer nego with HR. She asked what's my salary expectation. I followed textbook, ask her what's the budget or salary range for the role.

Based on the role, my experience, I should fit into band AVP2. She asked my salary, I obliged.

Now she said I should fit into AVP1 instead which has lower salary band. And AVP1 already offer a decent upgrade from current pay.

few days later asked for my payslip and I ask again about AVP2 and was declined.

I didn't take the offer (got better)

Hello Fishes, did you receive market correction of salary in October 2022 ? If so, what is the % correction ?

Question on on labor laws in the US:

Received an offer from Amazon but I'm concerned about negotiating hard and ending up with an offer that's on the higher end of the pay band when compared to the rest of the (future) team. My concern is during an economic downturn, it would be easier to let me go if the team needs to be downsized. This would be because I would have the least experience on the team & more expensive to retain from a cost perspective.

My concerns valid? #amazon #aws #faang

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?
