Cyril Sneer posted:Does something like this seem reasonably well-worded? Any suggestions from others who have been in this position would most appreciated! I'd probably not use the 'deaf ears' part, that's a bit aggro on the very person you're messaging. Something else to consider: it might not be about the work, really. it might be about Chris, or the business at large? Maybe the other things you were doing then had more business value so they wanted you to stick with your known good stuff? maybe Chris has been disappointing elsewhere so they're happy he's growing as an employee? otherwise idk, this seems like the sort of thing I'd bring up in a meeting (even a group meeting) not an email but orgs work differently e: you may also try the corporate thread, people talk about stuff like this over there too

yeah lockback is probably right. re: mentioning stuff in group, I did say that orgs differ on this. but framing matters a lot too. like, you can bring things up as "that's so neat Chris, I had a look at that a few years back with team X and we had some proof of concept results along the same lines that I think you'd really like looking at, want to see if they can help you?" etc etc. a lot of this depends on your social skills in your org (which people often... overrate)

does anyone know of a good survey or site detailing which companies are viewed as the most "desirable" places to work at by elite college grads? where do kids graduating from the ivies, stanford, MIT, etc., want to work for their first job? what companies are they fighting to get into? hopefully looking for quantitative data on this. I know stuff like "big tech good" and so on.

Beefeater1980 posted:Second one is wrong: US tax is around 20 percentage points higher than what I pay now or in Country2 scenario the US tax code is progressive on income and has all sorts of loopholes for high-earners. plus the sales (VAT) and real estate taxes here are inevitably way different than whatever Country2 is, and also vary state-to-state. spwrozek posted:It sounds like you ran the numbers and also don't like or really care for America. Without some real numbers, locations, and data or feels like everyone is struggling to give you advice. yeah what spwrozek said beefeater, you stated the position is like FAANG L8 equivalent or whatever. it's clearly a ton of money and nitpicking over headline marginal tax brackets or potential future baseline job comps is not going to decide anything for you. just pick the place you want to live and move on with life.
