Cash is king. You can call me an intern if you pay me $1M per year

And to elaborate further. Cash is king because it will enable you to have financial freedom to do what you want, when you want if you use it wisely.

As you get older people don’t really give a hoot about titles (at least the non superficial people I’d rather hang around) no one’s gonna remember if you were the Senior Manager, Digital Transformation or Director, Digital Transformation. They’re the same thing

Depends on what you want. Pay check now? Compensation. Next exit? Job title. One should not sacrifice one for the other without making it being a conscious decision.

Comp for sure. The two are supposed to be somewhat related, yet here employers are handing out titles as a win for you that comes at cost of your comp. doesn’t make sense. Just give me the cash, and keep your coupon 😂

Interested to know average salaries
of an Assistant Manager in
Purchasing (London based).
I was promoted from Supervisor to
Assistant Manager within the last
month, prior to my previous
manager being replaced. This is my
second promotion in just under a
year at the company. Based on the
salary I feel undervalued and
demotivated (I'm on just over £30k
and have 3 direct reports in a team
of 12), particularly as my efforts to
negotiate my salary were shot down.
Any advice would be welcomed.

I recently switched company, but now i am realising that the role which i have been assigned is not the one which was offered to me.

I then decided to go back to my previous organization. They are ready to take me back. Salary difference is not much(about 15% less than my current ,but approx 65% from my last drawn salary in my previous org). But i used to love my work and role in my previous organization.i switched because of money.

Is the decision right to go back ?

I know that it likely “depends” and varies from firm to firm but does anyone have any insight on (or experience with) whether firms rely on “total billable hours” or “total billable hours credit” to determine whether hours have been met/bonus applies?

Discovered major pay difference between myself and two new male hires with equal experience.

I know my productivity is effected by parental responsibility but I don’t feel that alone justifies the difference. I know our billable output isn’t drastically different. Not sure what my next steps should be and welcome any advice.

I have been working in an interim role as a portfolio manager. I was promised that the role would be mine. However, after doing the job for 2 months, I have been advised that we might not get the funding for the role and I might not get the raise and the title but my responsibilities will be the same.

Its a political minefield.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
