Hi! I was trying to figure out the right bowl for this question and I think this is the right one but if not lmk. My granddad purchased his house in about 1980 & had to do a rvrs mortgage around the time that my grandma passed in 2010. Now that I have a pretty nice salary, I want to purchase his house in the event that he passes. Does anyone have any tips on how to go about this? Would I need to buy it back from the bank & would it be the current value he owes? Can I start the process now?

Hi! I’m a Senior designer (8+years XP) with also a short experience (<2years) in Product management and Team Management.
I’m in a recruitment process for a Product manager position that seems very exciting to me, but the company didn’t give me their salary budget yet. My question is: do you think I can pretend to a senior-level salary given my profile, like I’d do if the position was Product designer? Or should I think of potentially having to downgrade from my current salary?
Thank you all!

I have to admit, a few of my direct reports are driving me crazy. They complain about everything, push back on everything, and threaten to leave constantly. I’m not perfect, but I am overly empathetic and doing everything I can to support them, to the extent that it’s really pulling me down. And the company can’t afford to loose them, so I’m stuck not being able to be more straight with them. Anyone have any advice? I’m drowning in their drama and negativity.

What would you do: in discussion with a small agency to potentially work full time. They wanted to do a 60 day engagement first to see if its a good fit. Kick the tires from both parties makes sense. They asked for my rates and gave them an hourly freelance rate to where they asked if I’d be willing to do a rate that was based off my “future” un-guaranteed employment salary, less than $100/hr, which was less than half my freelance rate. Does this sound fishy? Am I wrong to be skeptical?

1. Is it odd to be asked to do designs / copy / art direction on a daily basis? I'm 100% game to roll up my sleeves and help the guys when needed, but I'm now being asked to be a daily resource tool.
