If we’re not likely to break even with our base this year, independent of BU, does it make sense to leave now for +30-50% total comp vs biting the bullet and waiting for next year? Been here for a little less than a year and failed to negotiate a first full year assured bonus, just had a partial year bonus in 11/21
Some people are saying that’s just the way it is and to wait it out 1-2 years and network more, others are saying otherwise. Would appreciate some perspectives… US Director level

For the NJ folks who work in NYC - my potential new employer has offices in both NJ and NYC. The NJ office is a 1.5 hour drive vs. NYC ~40 min commute via train. Still very much hybrid work arrangement. Given the option, which office would you prefer to be based out of and why? Mostly asking from a tax perspective. While I believe it’ll even out when filing, I’d be paying state tax in both states throughout the year, right?

If anyone knows of any good fully remote LMS prospects, please let me know since I'm looking now. Thanks in advance. I have 13 years experience.

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

These people speaking at RNC either truly believe that DT could be a good president or they are attention/power whores. Both despicable.
