The fact that my small community has no mental health resources and no drug and alcohol resources. I grew up here and started using an 815 and around my 35th birthday in engage myself in horrible mental health. I want to support the community and I’d like to also be my own boss until I retire, and maybe make enough to retire on. Thanks.

I have head hunters reaching out to me constantly about new “opportunities”. It’s always the same; base salary, bonus, benefits etc. At the end of the day, all these “opportunities” are still At-Will JOBS. Has anyone had any experience and success in negotiating a contract, LTI, or equity? If so, thoughts on strategy in broaching the subject during the interview/hiring process would be appreciated. At-will past a certain age/experience level ain’t an “opportunity”.

A question from a youngster. Is working at a big big company with slightly low pay better or working at a much smaller company with higher pay better?

In the future, after a few years, let’s say I’m at a small company and want to switch to big big company, will the “small names” hurt my chance to get into the big doors?

I mean big big company is like 10x bigger than the small one if this was a factor. Assume everything else the same, WLB, commute, teams, etc.

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?
