Salaries / freelance comp is half of what it used to be. I know the industry is struggling, that all job markets are struggling, and the economic climate is rough. But WTF? In the late aughts I was in my late 20’s, had minimal experience, small responsibilities, and made $60 an hour freelance and then a little over $100k full time. Now I am in my mid 40’s with lots of high profile work and experience. Yet I get major low balled all the time. Put that into an inflation calculator, vomit.

Today is my 23rd birthday and I had very few people say happy birthday today. I was still in daily contact with my ex (I know a mistake) and he snapped me but did not send me happy birthday (we were together 3yrs ). So I finally blocked him on everything for the first time. (I should’ve done it a long time ago for other reasons) With the pandemic and everything else going on I’m feeling hopeless and alone. 😓 is there anything to be happy about right now?

Hello. Just curious on what's the salary ceiling for a manager position at Deloitte? Received a verbal offer and waiting on written offer. I was told by a recruiter that M at Deloitte doesn't make more than 180. Just curious if that's actually true and if anyone had experience negotiating higher salary than 180.

Hi fishes,

A quick glimpse, I have almost 3 years of working experience in sales. The first 1.5 in a ed tech firm and the rest in a IT services firm as a lead gen.

My salary is 5.5 lpa now. I would like to ask the seniors in this field to suggest me what are all the possible career transition I can do to earn better. Reason is my family business is shut and I'm the bread winner plz suggest.
