Those of you whose salary is keeping up with inflation and the cost of living, what do you do? Because I have a Master's Degree and 12 years of experience and my salary isn't covering my bills.

Sounds like you need to cut down on the bills. Lifestyle creep can put us on a treadmill where no matter what we make, we find a way to spend it. If you can break that pattern you'll be doing yourself a favor. That's how I keep my finances in balance, I try to be thrifty and don't get carried away with my spending.

We are working overtime to simplify our lives and keep our expenses down. Instead of going on international vacations, we're doing road trips. Instead of eating out, we're practicing new recipes at home. Life isn't as luxurious as it was before, but we're managing.

I know the feeling, my husband and I both work, and we still have to find some side hustles to pay the bills.

I’m guessing consultants and ceos are doing fairly well. But I think you need to be in a top leadership position to be doing ok in this economy.

It’s rough out there

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
