What’s the favorite industry you’ve ever worked in? For me it’s non profits, very rewarding work but couldn’t pay the bills.

Worked in non profits for a while myself and I liked it until I started to pay attention to how little the execs valued the people working for them. Realized it's often just corporate greed but tied up in a pretty package of social justice or taking care of the poor or some other kind of altruism. But they don't even take care of their own. Kind of soured my taste on non profits

In my youth I worked for a nonprofit organization for two years and I really enjoyed it. But after a while I realized I couldn't really live on the money, and I didn't have family money to supplement my meager salary. I wish I could have kept doing that work, but survival comes first.

I'm currently in fintech and love it. It's intense and fast paced but the pay is solid and they don't micromanage me.

Honestly, I loved working in retail. And in food service. It was stressful, but I never felt like I had to take the stress home with me at the end of the day. Plus, I really enjoyed joking around with coworkers and laughing about customers. I miss those days!

This is my first post. I was an ER trauma nurse for 34 years and retired 12 years ago. Now I do whatever I want. I worked for a call center for 4 years for major banks fraud dept. Learned a whole new skill set. But but both jobs were great because I was serving the public.

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
