Seeing a lot of trends of people that have been with a company 1 to 2 years then leave for a different role for either a different environment and or pay.

What matters most to you, pay, environment, management, culture?

Pay is huge, but work/life balance and culture are bigger factors. It doesn't matter how much money you make if you don't have a life outside of work and/or work for a toxic company.

They’re all so important. I left my last company quickly due to management and culture issues I didn’t identify during my interviews.

Luckily, this all happened during the Great Resignation. I actually didn’t get asked about why I was leaving in any of my interviews but I did volunteer to the HM that I was in a bait and switch situation with the company I was with at the time. (Definitely worded it more artfully but wanted to make sure I delivered the truth.)

1-2 years is the standard time people stay these days. Unless a company is going out of their way to look after employees, this is actually a good run

No matter what anyone tells you, pay is always the motivating factor for work period...Maslow's hierarchy of needs. If people do leave a company due to culture, lets say, for a job paying less money, it's because they can afford to do so (i.e. they have a working spouse, their mortgage is paid off, etc.).

No matter what, we all have to have money (pay) to survive...all these other things are luxuries as it's only been recently that we have come to even be able to consider work environment, management, and culture in our decision making process. 50 years ago if you asked what the culture was like at an organization during an interview, the interviewer would have probably looked at you dumbfounded because no one cared back then, as it was a job and a paycheck, they probably wouldn't even have known how to answer the question and what you were even talking about. Truly, we really are a spoiled society when we can even consider these things now as important aspects of our job that were not even thought of back then or at the very least, were trivial.

Bottom line, it's all about the money!

Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what you make as a typical banquet/events manager for salary or per hour?

Hi folks, I recently applied for a new role in EMEA for a Specialist Solutions Architect. Got through n received an offer letter. But seems like the base is a bit lower than what i saw online in a couple of places (not sure of years of experience there though). Is it worth it to bring it up and ask the HM to raise an exception? How much time will this take? Is it a risk? Already the entire process has dragged on cause of delays on recruitment's part etc. Any advice or insight would be helpful!

I’m interviewing for an EA (not your typical role) to a serial entrepreneur/CEO who is also interviewing for a Chief of Staff.

I am interested but also don’t want to talk myself out of the EA role as I really want to work for this individual – advice pls?
