What’s the expectation after mentioning a base pay range? Does one need to provide justification if they are negotiating for the top end of the range?

Some more context: I mentioned a wide base range - I guess this is the best practice - and the recruiter didn’t push back, so I feel the range works for the role. I’ve gotten the offer and it’s at the lower end of the range. I’m about to start negotiations and want to find out how much room I have to push the base. Ideally, I’ll want to go with the top range if at all possible.

1st Job - 90k…. Is this a good salary? Late to the game at 34. Don’t even know anything about personal finance.

Having to start over after long term controlling relationship where I was left out of all the finance stuff. So I’m lost TBH. Engineering makes sense, managing my money not so much.

How much bonus does a manager in PwC usually gets?

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

I deeply miss my ex. The breakup was initiated by me 5 years ago because I was scared to commit. Since then, I’ve gotten married and have a daughter. I’m so embarrassed to admit it but I think about my ex everyday. I am so sad that I walked away from him. Life is ok now - I’m thankful for my family but my heart hurts. How do I move on?

Someone needs to explain to me why I need to urgently (like yesterday) explain a matter to the people running the specific part of the deal (noting to them that OC’s request is nonsense because Y) only to be copied two days later - “my colleague X will provide”.
