I’m 20 weeks this week and plan to tell next week. I was going to put it off further, but last week was a string of 7AM to 7PM back to back meetings and I’m not dealing with that anymore. Can’t be stuck at my desk like that now ... need to be able to eat regularly, stretch, walk around, pee, etc.

3 months in advance is sufficient, start of third trimester

Yeah. Around 20 weeks is good. May be a little earlier if you already know of any complications That could lead to pre-term

I recently got a fully remote offer from US Bank and need help understanding it/ my leverage. I plan on moving to a HCOL city.

Base 135
15% bonus
Long Term Incentive 7
TC ~160k

Few questions I had:

1. How many rounds of negotiation can I expect? I had my first call with the hiring manager last week and he wants to wrap things up this coming week.

2. I’m guessing I’m under the 14 grade. Anyone have the range for a HCOL city?

3. What other benefits should I discuss?

Top SDRs oftentimes don't sound like traditional salespeople when cold calling. They use a very casual voice tone.

Here are a few tips:

1. Avoid upward inflections at the end of sentences. This makes it sound like everything you ask is a question
2. Slow down and eliminate buzzwords. Speaking fast makes you sound nervous and less confident
3. Avoid reading from a script - internalize your message and put it into your own works so you sound like YOU!

Thoughts? What are your top tips?
