Dang, I need to get into tech. I'm only making 72k in Los Angeles. Anyone got any referrals handy? 😅

Well I am definitely not making what they are suggesting !!! 😂 guessing it depends on compny size and specific tech industry too in addition to city size/location

My friend works at Google and makes around 120k base for comms there. This is in CA. She also gets a lot of other benefits like food/bonus too.

I would ask for no less than 120k.

Can I negotiate with other organisation’s HR on the basis of email from my current manager to match the offer which they are providing ?

I (36F) am married to another woman (34F) and we have a baby (5moF). We split all childcare, cleaning, meal prep, errands etc fairly evenly and it works well. Maybe she cooks more than I do bc she likes it, and I clean more bc I need to have a clean house. My friend (35F) recently took a business trip and literally put a binder together with instructions for her husband re: daycare drop off and pick up, what to feed the kids, when to take out the trash and so on.

Need a quick point of view all - today on a group call, I asked a new c level male exec if it was fine for me to provide a client with a piece of information we had been discussing on the call (this required his approval). He replied “you’re an adult so tell them what you want”. I was immediately livid and felt it was a totally weird, condescending response. I’m a senior female employee at the company and this guy has already had issues at the company with his tone, thoughts? Am I overreacting?
