What's more depressing right now, your salary or the economy? Because I've finally clawed my way to a $100,000 salary, and $100,000 isn't worth much anymore.

To borrow a redditism, "por que no los dos?" All of it is depressing. And you're right, $100k isn't much anymore. Just like 60 is the new 50, $100k is the new $50k.

Six figures isn’t what it used to be. The silver lining is that I’m at least keeping up, albeit barely sometimes. Salary and economy go hand in hand. Just waiting for some improvements. Everything goes up and down over the years.

It’s really hard to live financially these days. There’s too much of a wage gap between the middle and upper class and honestly, the people at the top are making more money they even know what to do with while salaries aren’t keeping up with the market.

Hi All. I have a good job offer but I'm wondering whether I should negotiate comp. I made it clear from the beginning what my target for base comp was which is ~$10K over the top of the posted salary range for the job. I also said that I was comfortable proceeding with the interview process despite the top of that range being lower (somewhat weakening my position for later I suppose). The offer is at the very top of the range. Bonus is 5% less than what I get in my current job. Negotiate?

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
