What do people think about shadowing? I get this whole industry is built around who you know but it’s not fair that it has to cut into my own time.

I was more understanding about it when I was younger, but now it’s harder to commit to. I can make the case if it’s outside what I normally would be doing, and it gets me where I want to go. But even then, hard to do anything work-related for free.

Yeah it’s so hard to justify anything work related for free, even if it betters my career.

It’s tricky as I definitely benefitted from it in my career but giving up your time is difficult!

Yeah I just hate giving up my free time!!

Working remotely for a tech co and still can't get over how much more time I get to spend with my kids. To be honest, this alone is worth so much more than money can buy. For those who plan well, I really think exiting can be worth it if family is a priority. It's really helped my marriage also, I'm a lot kinder to my wife with way less stress.

Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.
