What’s everyone doing today 👙😛👯‍♀️

Barclays vs BMC Software... Any suggestions?
P.S. - Looking for suggestions purely based on job security, work life balance and career growth/hike opportunities (irrespective of current CTC offered)

Talked to an M1 in Deal Advisory (FDD/AAS) that makes $110K in HCOL. Does that seem low/high/in-line with what you would expect?

Hi, does anyone know what the salary ranges for L4/L5 tech roles in UK are?

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?

Hi fishes, do you get paid by the hour or receive a salary?

No hike like last year ?!

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I’ve been taking care of my extremely sick (literally on the verge of dying) dog. I work from home so it’s not too much of a nuisance but I feel distracted all day long and can hardly get anything done because I worry about my dog. I feel like I’d benefit from a day off or even half a day off but I’ve only been working for my firm for a month now, plus I have “discretionary time off.” Would it be okay for me to ask for a day off?

Is it “safe” to fly domestic with Pax Era (battery and cart)?

Are there actually tax cuts switching from home office in NYC to Hoboken?

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Hi Fishes,

Have cleared HCL interview. Initially they offered 23 lpa (via proposed offer letter, to be approved by L4), but i requested to reconsider it for 25 lpa. After 5 days, they sent final offer letter of 19 lpa (stating they can offer max 50% as per L4 approval).

I don't have any other offer as of now. What should I do?

You know those power reclining sectionals that are super comfy, slightly bulky and mostly ugly and has built in cup holders like a movie theater? Considering one for my living room but am a bit concerned what it says about my style, who I am as a person and the remaining trajectory of my life. The heart wants what it wants but at what cost??

I’m a financial advisor with jpmorgan and i verbally accepted a new job in private banking with another firm. This is my first time transferring licenses.
