I’m not sure, but I would think that a well crafted argument would be better received than a simple request for more money with no rationale provided.

No. I did exactly that and it worked. The person who I was negotiating the offer with thanked me and let me know that they were able to use the reasons I shared to get an exception to the role’s salary cap approved.

I did this exactly with my current and previous jobs, and got what I asked for. I came armed with my portfolio of work, numbers to back up how I’d helped grow accounts, etc.. Always advocate for yourself!

I have a friend that's a VP at JPM and has about the same YOE as me (shes not in HR). I have about 15 YOE but about 10 yrs HR YOE and 3 HRBP YOE.

A CRO offerred me an internal consulting/biz dev role. They offered 145k TC (20% bump) and slightly better benefits. They also offered accelerated path (6mo to 1yr) to MC. While promotion to MC at my current company is at least 1 year away. The job is interesting to me and fits my careery goal. But my big concern is that I've only been with my current company for a year (this is my first job, post PhD). Would this affect my resume in the future in terms of being viewed as "job hopping"?

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
