There’s a bittersweet point in every job where you realise you’ve outgrown it.. where you’re not learning like you used to, and you’re ready for something new. It can be exciting but also scary to admit. Have you ever had that moment, and how did you know it was time to move on?

I've been feeling this way a lot lately. Thinking about starting a new job makes me want to vomit, I hate being the new person. But it is better than staying and never growing.

For me the signal to make a move was something like that. I'd find myself feeling pigeonholed, stuck doing the same tasks. The material could be interesting, but I didn't feel like I was really making any progress. When you start to feel that, it's time to get serious about finding something more interesting.

I'm going through this currently. I'm just not sure media is still for me. I think I might be ready to move on, but it's all I know professionally. It's hard to decide to stay, move on, change jobs... I wish someone could just tell me what to do! But alas, we have to make our own choices.

I am expecting an offer from Master Card for Senior Software Engineer position in O Fallon MO. Please let me know what kind of base salary I can expect with 11 yrs experience . I don’t wanna undersell but also trying to avoid being aggressive but quote a decent number which will be achievable. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Is 125k $ base a fair value for or I can pitch higher? They have a 15 to 20 % bonus on top of base pay and a 10% match on 401k which the recruiter keep highlighting.

Hello Everyone,

I have received offer letter from Optum Global Solutions India recently and I am seriously considering joining it(I also have offers from Deloitte USI and Verizon).
My breakup annexure mentions 4 components apart from RRP and PF. Basic, HRA, Flexi, Special Allowance. Either the Special Allowance or the Flexi is not included in the CTC mentioned in offer letter. So I want to understand how the Flexi and Special Allowance are paid monthly. Can someone please help?

I’m hoping to steer clear of any scams by posting & I know it’s been posted before but, again, scams.

With Christmas coming, I’m nervous and dreading the season not only to not have her but will I make it a happy one for the kids. I need extra income but need to be home with them in the evenings.

Greetings from Madison, Wisconsin.

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.

Hello, I wanted to mention that I work as a sports commentator, specifically about soccer.

I hope this nostalgia goes away soon.

Tell me your craziest experience working with a TV network. Here comes mine:

I'm American, but my family is mostly Colombian. I was told my aunt and cousins would come here for 2 weeks. I discovered they were going to be paid to appear in a famous Hispanic TV show, where a "judge" receives a case, hears the plaintiffs and defendants and renders a verdict. But of course, it's all fake and payed 😂 turns out she wanted me to go there (even though I don't work for that TV network) so she's sure she'll be paid at the end of the show. Wth did I just do.
