Small firm question... who are you using for liability and workers comp insurance? Have been using Liberty Mutual, but not satisfied.

So I just got a written job offer for a Sr. Principal Systems Engineer position. The offer was $142k, with a $10k signing bonus.

It is a little bit lower than what a few other people I know have gotten over the past few weeks in similar positions. I want to counter the offer but I want to make sure I'm not going so high that they balk and walk away. Knowing that others have gotten $145k and a $15k bonus, how high would be too high in a counter offer? Is $150k too much to ask?

Not sure if I should be happy with the comp adjustment or pissed that I was underpaid. I hear the adjustment was around 5% - but I fear the year end bonus is going to suffer !!

Very new to trading. Any suggestions on some stock for long term buy that aren’t too expensive? Only investing like 3k

Freelance creatives, how do you get medical/dental coverage and insurance (assuming you're not relying on a partner with coverage)? Or do you pay out of pocket for each expense?

Planning to invite parents to US for a few months in October. What insurance options do you all buy? Last time they purchased from India - not sure if the US hospitals honor those policies. I feel it’s important to have a good one especially during these times.

Hi, I’m new here and pretty much in the industry too , I have experience in food service and bartending (a year) in different companies but I do have a bachelors degree in hospitality and administration with a minor in events management and I would like to know how I can get a job that would help get up the ladder and make a good salary? Like which kind of job I could apply for and get hired that would help me to climb up the fastest?
Thank you in advance!

Been seeing many stories about big salary increases with counteroffers. Do people really get an interview with another employer, receive an offer and then present it to their current employer? Or they just tell their PML they receive an offer from Linkedin w/o actually going for an interview. Asking because I wonder how one continues to work at the same firm knowing you already had an interview with someone else.

I was given a salary adjustment at the beginning of the “great resignation”, and now it’s time for my annual promo/merit review. I know I’m getting promoted but was also told the salary increase wouldn’t be to its “full potential” since I was already given an adjustment 6 months ago.

How do I counter this and ask for more? I work in analytics.

Does anyone have a good tax accountant they can recommend? Had a great one but he’s retiring. Thanks.

been in industry (small companies) for 5 years with an active CPA. Wanted to get in SEC reporting roles but almost every company requires 2-year public accounting exp. Now applying for public accounting firms entry level positions but almost all firms HR asked if I had ever worked in firms. Got rejection emails from firms all the time. Is this a dead lock? firms exp matters much more than a CPA license?

Hi guys,

My current company laid off my complete team (including myself) few days back. I've managed to crack an interview at a MNC but the HR is unwilling to give me more than 10% increment on my current salary since I joined my current company only 6 months back.

Do y'all think I should accept the offer and secure a job first without thinking too much about negotiation? And then maybe try to find better offers?
