Torn on whether to accept a Sr Designer offer at a healthcare/pharma agency or hold out to see if other interviews come through with offers. It's a fair offer at 100k for an actually decent seeming healthcare client, but I don't want to get stuck in pharma.

If you don’t want to get stuck in pharma then don’t take the first step toward getting stuck in pharma.

(Taking a job in pharma is the first step. Just in case that isn’t clear) 😂

Just keep freelancing in pharma (or not) you’ll make way more than 100k

I don't wanna get stuck in pharma either so despite multiple attempts of my friend to recruit me in, I've stubbornly stayed away. It does pay well. But I'd rather do work I think is interesting.

Resounding advice, thanks y'all. Declined the offer!

As someone who works in healthcare, I think you made the right decision.

Why don't you want to get stuck in pharma? Making six figures would be pretty sweet right, lots you could do with your time on that

I work in it and it sucks. Takes forever to produce anything and even when you do, it’s rarely ever interesting work.

Hi All. I moved to a new company , I just got my take home salary and my current pay is less that previous pay ,because of different state and other taxes. My new company is better but the pay is demotivating me . It is almost $500 less per biweekly pay check . What to do get out of the demotivation? I wouldn't have minded the same pay , but $1000 less /month is a lot !

I have been searching for job from quite a long time and all I have seeing HR/Panels asking for

And if I don't have atleast any one of these, I will not be considered.

Is it really that important ?

Being joined as a fresher - Is it really something that I can decide whether to be in support or implementation project ?

Hi fishes,

Got an offer from Amazon for Data Engineer-2

Yoe-2

Base - 20LPA
Bonus - 10LPA (over 2 years)
RSU-137 (over 4 yrs) worth 13.5 LPA,standard Amazon vesting

I moved to my current company just a month back but Amazon process was in progress, so leaving in probation. I don't think they considered TC of my current company (17 LPA from 7.5 LPA) as it's been just a month. Any views regarding the offer and TC offered.

Thanks already!

Cheers

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
