I am currently an accountant coordinator in the commercial property insurance with a property & Casualty.

I would love to work at Progressive Insurance. Does anyone know what entry-level roles are available at Progressive and about how much they pay?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I currently work from home, but it’s not a permanent wfh position. I just had my second baby, my parents live in the guest house and they babysit the girls for me while I work. My salary covers all expenses and I am able to pay my parents 1500$/month to babysit daily.
Eventually I’ll be asked to go back into the office. The office is 7hours away from my home….. ARE THERE ANY INSURANCE CO. HIRING REMOTELY?

I have an associate full-time offer from a Big4 & an Analyst offer from a decent consulting firm. The pay is in the 60 range for big4 and 70s for consulting firm.
What would you do? I'm not sure what the consulting job will be like but I wouldn't need a masters degree which is great. I am also an analytics minor which is useful.

Tips on studying for CFE?

I'm barely a year into my role, but is it okay to leave for a higher position at a different agency and for an account that is more interesting for me? While my current agency is great, the account is very repetitive and prescriptive. However it has allowed me to learn and grow a lot in my role. It's just that the scope of work isn't that interesting and exciting. The new role is more on social and experiential which excites me and seems like a great opportunity. Smaller agency though.

Anyone working full time in a tax knowledge management / training type type of role? Do you enjoy it? Did you start in another tax group?

Reunited with an ex and things moved very fast with the two of us spending a lot of time and nights together but we waited to consummate the “relationship”. Recently, he shared that he wasn’t in a position to be in a relationship right now and felt like he didn’t have enough to offer me but he cared deeply for me and was very attracted to me. Admittedly, he isn’t financially well-off and is heading back to school to finish his degree (we’re in our 30s) but it still hurts a lot.

Current non-SWE Googler in interviews for Partner role in MBB. I have previously worked at MBB at the Analyst level and disliked the “grind” / lack of autonomy in that role. Is it better at the Partner level? How much agency would I have over my schedule and what I decide to work on? What are the biggest challenges as a boomerang Partner?

How bad is the staffing shortage at firms right now? At current firm (mid-tier) seeing good people held back from being promoted due to not enough preparers. Other good people are constantly being overworked and slackers aren’t getting called out since leadership is afraid of losing a body. Is this true for other bigger firms (Big4, GT, BDO, Baker Tilly, Moss Adams) too right now? If so, how are you avoiding being overworked?

What's the craziest thing you "borrowed" from your office?

Could people share some “I got laid off and it turned out to be great” stories? Granted I’m sure none of those stories involve being laid off in a global pandemic like I just was.

Working full time but also freelancing on the side. I’m starting to work on some seriously cool brands in my freelance and I’d love to post it on my LinkedIn... but considering how I’m full time elsewhere, is this a faux pas?

Can we apply sick leaves in notice period ?

Hello Fishes,

I have job offer from two of the big4s. One is PWC SDC Kolkata and another is KPMG Global.

KPMG is offering 1.5 lakhs extra in fixed pay and 1.5 lakhs as joining bonus.

However in PWC SDC they have shift allowance of 700/day(not mentioned in offer letter).

I am bit confused amongst two. Please share your thoughts and guide me to choose the right one considering Work life Balance, Career growth, Exposure etc.

AE’s, would you rather take a hire base with fixed bonus structure or a lower base with unlimited commissions and why?

Ex A: $100K base + 25-50% Bonus eligibility
Ex B: $60k base + unlimited commissions paid quarterly

B2B

How would you go about finding a remote AE role with a 100k base?

I have about 7-8 years of sales experience and have consistently out performed my OTE. I absolutely love my current role but I feel like I have out grown the company as there isn't a ton of opportunity to make more than I am currently making.

I opened up my LinkedIn to recruiters but all the offers are 60-70k base and 120-140k OTE. I am shooting for MINIMUM 80k base but ideally 100k or more.

What would you do?

Need advice! I’m currently interviewing for an account executive role and there’s a couple of red flags that have come up. 1. They aren’t able to tell me when I would have to relocate for the remote role I applied for. 2. Midway through the interviews—-the team decided to bump me down to a level lower which changes the base salary and commission. The recruiter is also unable to disclose why the team made that decision which makes me uncomfortable. What would you recommend?

How did you get better with money? I'm fucking terrible with it and kind of always have. I don't want to hear tips from people who are natural good at it. Would love to hear stories of people going from bad to good. TC: $170k

Considering breaching into cyber security, data, or Fintech sales. Appreciate insight. Thx 🙏

Am I being underpaid? I earn £52.5k + £52.5k. Corporate AE (companies with 1000-5000 employees), 2 YOE as an AE, although I was an SDR for 2 years too (in my first year at current company). ACV roughly 50k. Quite complex sales cycles with a product that is hard to sell. 350k EUR quota. My company has been through quite a few funding rounds and just raised over 100mm in their latest round earlier this year. Happy to provide more info. Thanks!

AWS strategic account manager salary? Curious, and thanks

Hello, I have been contacted by a recruiter for a digital specialist (enterprise) Role for microsoft in Canada.
I was wondering :
Which TC can I expect from this kind of role ?
I this kind of role junior ? I have 8 years of experience as account manager isnt step back in duty ?
Recruiter was not really able to tell.

thanks !

I applied for a position at the company I’ve been with for 6.5 yrs. I had an initial phone screening today. They told me the target salary and it’s the same as what I’m currently making. The recruiter asked if it meets my expectations…I kindly said no. She said they “can be flexible DOE”. My current supervisor encouraged me to apply because it’s a step up from my role (more responsibilities). Should I tell him the pay is the same? Suggestions?

Hello - can anyone drop base salaries or guarantees for Television Account Executives?🧐thanks in advance

With over 2 YOE in commercial sales at Dell and look at other tech company. What should seeking OTE (Base + Commission) when interviewing with other companies ? Open to any advice.

Current working in a local office in NJ. Two YOE and one of the offices tops sales agents. Currently making about 55k to 60k that includes commission, which is tiered. I feel it should be more but is this a normal amount. Currently in personal lines insurance

How do I ask for pay parity with peers? External hires of course make a higher base, but some reps that have been moved up are making a higher base due to starting higher when hired as SDRs. I am a top 10% rep in the org, so do I approach it based on performance or parity? Also I know better than to name drop, but is it acceptable to admit that I know what my peers make when making the ask?

I need advice on how to approach a raise request.

I am a software sales representative in the manufacturing space. My starting salary was $85,000 in 2015 I did not receive a raise until I asked for one three years later in 2018. The raise was 5%. I have not received a raise since the 5% raise I received in 2018. They granted me a $2000 one time bonus in 2021 when I asked for a raise. How do I request a raise and get one?

I have brought up the cost of living expense and they do not acknowledg
