I said I'd never do it... the costs of salary,workmans comp, unemployment ect.... plus no one works as hard as I do so I knew I'd end up resenting anyone I hired.... but last fall we just couldn't take it anymore.... going home exhausted.... not getting back to clients... even sales paperwork left undone... so we hired a person... half office manager and half junior broker... WOW! Should have done it years ago....

I’ve heard that once you are producing $350k gross, it gets pretty much necessary.

As much as I hate my former company ed jones, that was an awesome feature of their business model. Once you have your own office you get your own personal administrativr asistant. They ate a ton of losses on me my first 3 years (of course I made it all back for them plus a LOT of profit). Only having to focus on selling made a huge difference.

In Upstate NY so depending on your location you may have to pay more. $57k base, $1000 per month commission guarantee ( she gets 25% of gross), $1000 of bonus each quarter.... one I choose based on office management , one she and I mutually agree on based on actions which should lead to sales. 3% Simple match and $200 a month towards health care. I wanted to add organization to my office, coverage for when my husband and I are away but wanted a person with a sales attitude. My plan is and was for 50% time split between office management and sales.

Hello,
I’m a junior data scientist and in my current job I mostly code using Pyspark (no machine learning) so I would like to work on a side project that could leverage my profile and data science/ML skills. What project would you advice me to work on ? (it can be a kaggle project, or a classic task that you do at your job, or a paper that you read).
I’m overwhelmed by the many suggestions online and would prefer to get a suggestion directly from professionals.
PS : I’m not a beginner.

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

Product Design Engineer, interviewing at Apple (Cupertino) and at Meta (Seattle/Redmond). Not at the offer stage yet, but I'm contemplating where I would relocate with family.
No idea about team/culture/stability differences yet.

The non-work factors I'm debating are:
1. Cost-of-living (housing!). Could probably afford a nice ~$1.25M SFH in Seattle suburbs sooner than a fair $1.5-2M near Cupertino.
2. Public School quality. Unsure private will be affordable.
3. Weather/region: activities

Lately I’ve been feeling pay by bracket policy is very counter productive. When I came from my prev company, I had salary at the higher bracket due to market correction and novartis offer coinciding. Now after a couple of years, I see that people who were hired before or after me on a lower package have somewhat similar package as me cause of the pay brackets despite me performing better. Should I talk to my manager explaining my predicament? Or should I simply search for another job?
