Hi folks,

I have 8.9 years of tech writing experience. How much CTC should I be expecting when I join a new company. My current CTC is 20L pa (18.75 (fixed) + 1.75 (variable)).

Hello there! I have been interviewing with Amazon for L6 Sr. UX Designer role. I want to understand what’s the salary range I should be negotiating for that role. I have no clue what big company like amazon and Facebook pays for someone with 10 years of experience. Any help and pointer will help me with the negotiation. Thank you.

Hey i had my HR discussion with Infosys HR, they are not even ready to match my counter offer, they will release the offer tomorrow, how to renegotiate now, any tips, they are saying they can't go beyond that for the role. Tried to convince him, but no luck, thinking to have a discussion at the last moment now. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Hi Folks,
Need your urgent help!!

Need your valuable suggestion on the below.
I Have 2 offers
TIAA:28LPA(fixed) +2L JB
SS&C(DST) :33LPA(fixed) +1JB
I have already accepted offer from TIAA and have received the Onboarding link. Will it be okay to renegotiate the CTC now by providing a counter offer.
Also,Do you know of any instance , when TIAA has declined the JB post joining.

Hi, anyone works at the fresenius? Especially as a dietitian position? What do you think about the company? Like benefits, insurance (I have to follow up with specialist), raise, work responsibilities, etc...? Thank you!

I interviewed for an employed role and knocked my business plan pitch out the park, but could tell I disappointed them with my technical. By my own admission I’m lacking in this area as only have 1.5 years experience with a poor manager who only had me focus on biz dev.

They asked me what my salary expectations are but had already hinted my experience would knock me down a pay grade.

As it was 4 of them and 1 of me I said I would email them. How do I play this without lowballing myself?

Debating between two offers, $105k at Deloitte or $120k at Guidehouse. Is GH worth the extra $$$ or should I go with the brand recognition of D? Both offers have already gone through negotiations.

I would also appreciate info regarding progression raises at D and GH.

I live in NY and make $40k a year as a Copywriter, I have 2.6 years of experience. Pls rip on me and tell me I’m being underpaid, thx fam

Curious what others think about this: a friend of mine has a couple of months of leave this fall to study for the CPA exam (they’ll be paid a reduced salary during their leave), but they mentioned they have no intention of studying for the exam, and instead plan to use that time to look for another job. This rubs me the wrong way, but wanted to hear what others think…

Business Development Manager for a Biotechnology Company, 1 YOE $90k base, $120k OTE in a Low COL area

Hi fishes, my previous employer has not given me the money for Earned Leaves, they are saying it's not in their policy.. I have a variable bonus of 100000. Out of this they have given only 19,000 in the month of December after 6 months of joining...But they are not giving me any bonus after completing 1 year and 2 months.. They have stopped my appraisal as well...

So in total, I lost my appraisal money, bonus and Earned Leaves money... I feel betrayed and cheated...

What should I do ??

Hey.. may i know what will be the salary of VCS fresher (location- Hyderabad)

No love for WFC this week - growth by zero fish! Please invite a friend. Also, who has the skinny on bonuses?

What are the exciting exit opps in the GTA area like, specifically in the Tech space? Startups / FAANGS?

Why the resource team is wrongly mapping to higher level management role project proposals. Like 4 yr experienced people are being proposed for 10 year experience requirement.
Does anyone else faced this? LTI

I had one of those VERY nonproductive days today. I think I accomplished maybe an hour of billable work, even though I had a bunch of stuff to do. I just came off a 300 hour month, and unexpectedly got a continuance on a deadline on Wednesday, and it’s like all of my motivation leeched out of me at once.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??

Whats’s the ideal CV length for UK mid-level roles (4-5 YoE) to engage recruiters?

Is 1 page containing punchy & concise XYZ points preferred in the UK over 2 pages inc. a bit more details of projects/ tasks?

Does anyone have any recommendations for egg retrieval in the Boston area? I’ve heard great things about Boston IVF and CCRM, but would love to get additional opinions. CCRM seems a lot newer, while Boston IVF seems much more well-established.

I wish admin utilized Tier 1 supports with teachers. Smiles, appreciations and acknowledging ones efforts would do a great deal to boost morale and climate. I just don’t understand what that is so hard to do.

Look for new opportunities within holding company or outside? Any appreciable differences? Or is the “action” at the agency level? I’ve heard a lot of talk ... but is it valid?

What are you using for your remote classes? I'm having trouble with Zooom, and need another platform for my kids.

Meeting people while in consulting and in your early 30s...? Possible?

Are tattoos and/or piercings acceptable in biglaw?

I need help/advice/emotional support/literally anything.

I’m an in-house designer. My company decided to offer social media marketing packages to our clients. Today they asked me to take full ownership of that outside social media marketing on top of my current job duties.

I expressed a need for a promotion or raise to compensate for the major increase in responsibility, a responsibility that is not currently in my description.

They pushed back.

Wtf do I do

Starting IVF in a month - any guidance in prep for it, things that may help increase success for egg retrieval or anything like that? I started taking supplements advised by my doctor, but curious to hear of anything else! Thank you SO much!

Hi all! Moving from TX to NY and have an offer for 80K. Is this reasonable for someone with ~3 years of experience or am I being lowballed here?

No finesse in this McGregor / Merryweather fight promo ... this is the Trump-dashian sht show of premier fighting events. Class and taste have taken a major hit in the age of the interwebs.

When you work late, you get to snoop around the office. Given.

Is it normal for every single call (client or internal) everyone dials in from their desks at an open format office? Everyone avoids takings calls together/conference rooms like the plague.

Books on human psychology that have affected you. I'll start: influence, sales Bible, on killing.

Tips from those of you who have moved from agency to in-house?

Getting really frustrated with a boss that is completely bipolar in our interactions. Management does not seem willing to tell them to stop being psycho. Beginning to think the only way out is out

This may sound odd, but can you run an agency without an ECD/CCO?? (Asking for a friend)

Anyone looking for a jr writer who wants to be in office with their new team as much as possible?

Serious post.. I've been feeling really depressed lately but am apprehensive of going to a psychiatrist because I would prefer to stay off meds. Have any of you battled depression without medicating?

I just got called about a job on Thursday, showing interest. They’re already back in the office so the job would require me to be. Said they’re classified as an essential business because most of their advertising is for healthcare. Is this a hard red flag? Really Seems like it.

People didn’t hate advertising when it was about creativity and not technology. Just saying.

If the open office concept is so great for collaboration why does everyone wear gigantic noise cancelling headphones to try to ignore everyone around them?

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help! I recently stumbled upon a website where some ad folks had compiled a bunch of idea/conceptual thinking approaches and if you clicked through there were past spots that had utilized that idea / way of thinking. I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?

For all the Q3 and Q4 misses, looks like most of our agencies are projecting big rev increases for Q1. Trump effect 📈 ?

What small or mid sized NYC shops are doing good work right now?
