Interesting. I would be ok if let’s say the options given every month or year along with dividend are better than putting $18k a year plus company match + market change . I would also ask an investment specialist on implications, not sure on all the restrictions. Are you going to make a life long career there ? Is the company established or new with the promise that it will take off? See beyond the fairy dust. Good luck and get that paper

Perspective is a funny thing. If you are convicted of a small crime, you may be punished with community service. If your company offers "great benefits" they may include community volunteer days. Do criminals have better ESG scores than me?

Hi Fishes,
I had given interview for network security architect position in Feb last week. And as per recruiter, I got selected for that role. I have been asked to share the documents on March 1st. I did a few followup for the offer letter update and they asked me 2 wait for 2-3 weeks. And now they are saying position has gone on hold after I did another followup.
Could it be because of expected salary ?
Yoe: 9

Additional Posts in Advertising

Why does the 3% Conference get so much money from agencies & clients when they have a history of showcasing toxic, abusive to female employees underneath them, women in advertising? Every year, people are shocked at who gets featured there. The idea is not just to celebrate women, it’s to celebrate aspirational women. Maybe they ran out of speakers and are dipping down too much. But agencies and clients should take a hard look at who is speaking before giving money.
