Finally got an offer accepted on a home I love! (In DC) Spent months searching. Next thing is getting to the closing date.

Now I feel super anxious about everything going thru and getting the keys. How difficult is that process of getting to close, have heard the underwriting portion could be a headache?

I’m a second year associate at a small, but reputable firm. My caseload is almost entirely made up of clients who were referred to one of the partners but the partners are too busy so I end up taking the case. The clients are told up front that an associate, rather than a partner will be taking his/her case. I’ve run into an issue a couple of times where the client doubts my advice because I am only 2 years in. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I address the fact that I’m only 2 years in?

A producer that I know, from a multinational company in Dubai told me that they smoke inside the office, like in their tables, meeting rooms and everywhere surrounded by non-smokers. HR and management knows, and also it's against the law. He's struggling everyday and doesn't know what to do. Did you face something like that? What's the solution?

Hello guys,

How much % of salary do you save?

While mentioning %, please let us know if you are married/unmarried, pay rent or not.

Just want to know if 70% is enough for a single man who does not pay rent. Or am I saving less money?

Don't you think it's high time ppl start calculating in hand salary and how much % hike to ask n all?? I feel that's immatured behaviour when few of them ask these questions 😐

Thoughts on $50k for a visual designer in NYC?

How much should I contribute to a 401k?

Finance - Highest salary? After how many years? Is Ad better paying than typical accounting?

When HR/recruiter says X-Y range or Y is the highest they can go, is it actually true? Is “signing bonus” a real thing (read online but never practically saw this)?

Anyone from Canada? I’m considering moving but I don’t know what the salaries are like.

ACD/writer level freelancer? Have awards and new business pitch experience I’m based in Denver/Boulder.

I’m struggling at the moment to gauge how much I should be getting paid in my position as i feel I’m heavily underpaid for the work I do, which includes managing digital marketing operations across 12+ countries, manage the studio/creatives plus lead on any campaigns and strategies, etc. I’m also remote UK-based although my company is international. So what do you feel a fair UK wage would be for the role? I love my job/team but the stress isn’t worth it for me atm. Thanks in advance!

What’s the salary range for social strategists in Austin? ~3 years experience and thinking about making a move from NYC

What to choose when you can’t have it all: high salary, healthy working environment, room for growth, love of the day-to-day work.

Top NYC communications marketing agency - EP role onsite for 6-8 weeks. Day rate and hours per day? Any ot or other considerations?

These numbers are really irrelevant unless you know the agency. It would take a lot less dough to get me into w+k than say, a Translation or similar.

Do you get a bonus? How much? Do you count it in your salary when posting here?

180 base, 50 bonus, plus 50-75k profit sharing and 50k equity a year.

Still feel underpaid on initial base salary :/

I think I just screwed up on a call with a recruiter. He asked what my salary expectations were and I wasn’t thinking. I threw out a number that is about what I’m making now including my bonus.

Besides salary is there any additional bonuses, stock options, etc to expect as you advance to SVP and EVP?

What’s the Assoc. Strategy Director pay range in Boston? Glassdoor says 140k. Does that sound about right?
