What kind of organization do you work in? Strict hierarchy top down or more flat? Have you experienced both? In my experience top down is much better

I’m currently in a top heavy, top down hierarchy. It’s exhausting playing all the politics. And decisions take forever. I was at a flatter org before my current job, and it also had its annoyances but decision making was quick, and I was able accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. I prefer a flatter organization, but it’s because of my work style.

We are definitely working in a hierarchy. There are set levels and, like the old saying put it, stuff tends to roll downhill. But, I don't disagree that a top down style can be better. At least you know who is calling the shots, and even if you don't agree with things, they tend to make sense. If the management chart is muddled sometimes you're not sure who to listen to or how much importance to put to things.

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role. I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
