Hi All,
Need suggestions here. Please help me out. I was interviewed with IBM and got selected. Waiting for offer letter. Meanwhile got selected in another company and got offer too. Put down my ppr. Offer from another company is way beyond than IBM almost 22% more in terms of fixed. Now I’m confused that once IBM releases their offer then should I ask them to match with my holding or not ? Will they consider for negotiations? What’s your thoughts? IBM
Any good book recommendations?

I would say it all comes down to competitiveness? There are so many news outlets out there and with so much funding, either private or public, that NBC can't really compete with.
Thinking of staying at NBC for two years and probably try going to Business Insider. Their base salary for any role starts at $65k
Who works there? $20 - $26 an hour with 5+ years of experience and an Ivy League degree.Doesn't make sense...
Ooofff...layoffs. That's rough, especially during the holiday season.
That's extremely low for a job with that many qualifications. Maybe the benefits are crazy good?
Benefits really aren’t that good. The only “good” benefit I get is 4 free Universal tickets every year
Having an Ivy League degree doesn't weigh much these days...you can still end up with a low hourly rate.
Do you have any tips on how I should go about asking for a pay increase during a yearly review? I am a recent grad and I know that probably hurts me. Is excelling at my job enough to warrant a bump in pay?
Why does nobody talk about this? You can barely make ends meet at $20/hour=fulltime in the US.
Especially because I also live in NYC. NBC requires everyone to come into the office 3x a week
I didn't go to an Ivy League college but damn, if $26 an hour is incredibly low, then I must be starving for a better salary. I don't know where you live, but in my small town, a lot of folks make up to $40k and they're happy.
I didnt go to an Ivy either. My colleague did, she makes $22 an hour. She is two years out of college with 5 years experience. I just graduated from college this year. I make $26; however, I’m in a higher role than she is. I don’t think it’s fair to her at all. I live in NYC since it’s required to go into the office
Doesn't NBC have a crap ton of side projects? Their funding must be divided amongst all of these industries, and probably NBC News is towards the bottom of the barrel.
As someone who worked there for 3 years, this is my recommendation: stay there for 2 years to get NBC on your resume. Push to work on as many cool projects as you can. And then get out. They are stingy about promotions there, especially if you are in digital. But NBC looks great on a resume and you can easily negotiate for a higher title when you leave. The biggest mistake you can make is staying there too long and feeling stuck. Feel free to DM me if you want to chat more.
