Free market capitalism?

like

Cable is sold per region. The demographics are different per region and the value of the channels selection is different. It's a known thing that people only want to click so far and there are sweet spots. They maximize the value of this by selling the rights and packages in a region basis. It's also complete bullshit and a horrible practice. Canada passed a law that makes the cable company offer an a la cart service, where you pay by the channel

Moving to Canada! If we didn't have monopolies and had real capitalism, we'd have a la cart by now. Sigh!!!

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

When I negotiated my comp, all my discussions were around me being a junior and I only accepted my comp for that reason (would not have accepted if I was step above junior since it was low). Negotiations happened with HR, but my offer letter and documents never mention junior (but I have proof from HR saying I am a junior). How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise
