Thought about posting this a few weeks ago. It’s more expensive to live in Denver/Boulder than Austin or Chicago, but they have better salaries there.

I’ve noticed this too. unless remote becomes widespread, I’m seriously beginning to question the feasibility of continuing to live and work in CO.

All depends on if they have any business. Who's doing well?

maybe it’s just that time of year but my LinkedIn feed is being flooded by new biz wins and job openings around town.

I'm sure many see it as a good chance to bring senior talent from a bigger market.

why would anyone want to move to a place with low pay but same COL as where they are now, not to mention limited future opportunities.

I recently interviewed for a really well known, mature tech company that’s revered for its great culture. I was at the last round, after over a month of communication, interviews and challenges. I couldn’t even count hours I’d already put in. Then they ghosted me. It ruined my interest in the role anyway, but I’m still extremely disappointed with how they treated me. Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?

I hit my one year at my company on the 15th of November. I had lunch with my boss on the 10th and he mentioned a raise but not how much or when it would be effective.

Flash forward to now, we’ve had 2 paychecks since then and I haven’t received anything. He said last week he would let me know this week, but I’m getting frustrated.

He’s raising my billing rate effective Jan. 1, and I’m worried I won’t get my raise until then. Anyone have something similar happen?

What’re the various agencies/components’ return to office dates (if announced)? And what’re the remote work policies after that date? I hear DOJ said their individual components will decide when exactly to return between mid-March and early May and some are offering a lot of remote flexibility even after then. Curious to hear more details though, both for specific DOJ components and other agencies!

Segmenting / database quality question —- we have 2 segments based on EE count : 21-100 and 101+. We use LinkedIn as source of truth.

Any idea how to search LI based on LinkedIn employees (with profiles) not the range or best way to prospect into this segment?
