What is a good premium for a lateral transfer? A competitor offers me $20k, which is ok but only translates into 15% pay bump and I feel asking for more is unrealistic.

Not enough

15% is a reasonable bump, but it depends on what you are looking for. If solely going for the money, I’d push for more. Does mentioning your current salary ever help? Worry it’ll box you in, but it could help show why you need what you need.

Honestly, that is a pretty good bump for a lateral transfer. If it is with the same company, I would probably take it. If it is at a different company, I would need a bigger bump to make that transition.

I would consider moving companies for a 15% pay bump, especially for a lateral move. Of course, I will need to compare the new place to my current place, and see what the differences are. Like # of days in office vs remote, commute time to and from office, benefits, and the job itself.

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
2. What certifications are valued today? Seems like being a AWS Cloud Practitioner is a good general one, but are there others that stand out?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.

Oof. True or not true? I don't know if I would still make the same choice if I knew how things were going to end up. I tend to be on the "PBM's ruined pharmacy" brigade. If you knew then what you know now, would you still go to pharmacy school?
