Am I crazy to take a pay cut to “chase my dream”? Manager looking to leave Bain - I want to do corporate sustainability - I got an offer for a traditional corp strategy job at $195k base, $23k bonus (no longer-term incentives aka no equity / profit sharing), so similar to current comp except for NAP, but am hoping something sustainability-related comes through. Right now in talks for a sustainability director role that would be closer to $160k base / $20k bonus. (More in comments)

Servus zusammen,

T1/T2 steigt man ja nach dem Master mit ca 80 ein, bin in ner T2 und bin inkl. Bonus bei ca 76k Entry (ca 83k nach 8 Monaten).

Das klingt für mich ja eigentlich ganz gut, wenn man hier allerdings auf Fishbowl unterwegs ist, liest man von den Amis schon ganz andere Summen wie 150k TC; Wie lässt sich das denn vergleichen? Deren Savings-Rate muss doch extrem hoch sein?

Davon abgesehen, wie strukturiert ihr eure Finanzen? Kann von den 3k netto ca 1/2 zur Seite legen..

Any NICU nurses out there? How much are we generally making? I interviewed with a different hospital than where I am now (lower acuity) and they offered $8 more than I am making now. My HR team promised a match if I didn’t leave, so I stayed and 2 weeks later all they said they could do was $2 more. Thoughts?!

Hi everyone. I’m new here but I think I’ll get a lot of really good feedback. I work in government procurement.

It is really hurting morale and, personally, making me look for something different. What is everyone’s experience with old school management? Thank you!
