big trivia FAIL posted:It's low for my area, but I have a brain problem where I refuse to take a mortgage on more than 2x my gross. My first house was carried at 120 after down payment, and my current one is 209 after. Saying it's exaggerated still means that if it WERE that, and we scope down to 450, I'd still need to earn 225K. That's insane. How do people live like that? Do you not buy cars, groceries, fix poo poo that goes wrong, have kids, save any money?? We save, through retirement and rainy day, about 1300 per month, and I'm itching to double that with paying off the cars and student loans. I have 2 kids and 2 car notes, my wife doesn't work. I'm 34. HOW DO YALL LIVE?? In poverty-like housing conditions or finance situations or 1.5-2 hour commute with 10,000 of your closest friends. You get to chose. on topic: I received a $5,000 annual increase to my current jobs salary when I was hired a few months back just by asking for it. Highly recommend, would ask again.

a dingus posted:Thanks dudes. I updated my resume today at work and started looking at places to work in Reno where I'd like to move. Just be careful about doing things like that at work. No reason why you can't do it at home. Finding a new job can take a while (and it can be super fast too), you don't need to give your employer a reason to axe you before you're ready to move on. Maybe it's just my lovely company but there's stuff in the employee handbook that forbids job searching at work.

bamhand posted:I think the bonuses and the extra hours more or less make it a wash. So it'd be 130-135% of my current salary in exchange for +125% more hours. Basically my hourly rate would be roughly the same but with more work. I did exactly this and the extra time I spend at work absolutely wasn't worth it. I'm salaried at 50/wk minimum in my contract for your reference. Also I travel 70% so that might be part of my discouragement.

Dik Hz posted:They oftentimes have non-poach agreements. But, given you were unemployed, it's unlikely to apply even if they have one. Doubly so if they fired or laid you off. Also, initiating a law suit against a current or recently former employee will result in a lot of damage to morale so it's not a thing reasonable companies take lightly. It might be worth the piece of mind to consult a local employment attorney and just lay out the scenario and ask her advice. A consult would probably be in the $100-$200 range. This can also be state dependent. In Mass a law was recently passed that limited how you could enforce a non-compete and provided some employee protections in the cases of layoffs/firing. Not a lawyer at all but something to keep in mind. If there's concern, you should get a consult as mentioned above, but it seems to me that whatever non-compete your employer had would only be enforceable with a direct competitor and I doubt your customers would be classified as such.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:I think it'd be a little cowardly to accept merely his current pay rate for the time off - this is his hard-earned vacation accrued over years. Charge them 1.5x at least. Yeah agreed. Just ask for everything and negotiate from there. Don't be the one to tell yourself no. I'd also do the math and see what you're at on a hypothetical hourly rate to put things in perspective. If you're getting 10-15% more but putting in 30% more work than another place, it's a trash deal and you're not being fairly compensated even though your paycheck is higher. Maybe you need that to make ends meet but for me, an extra 10% of my salary is not worth going from 40 to 50 hours a week (25% increase in worked time).

pumped up for school posted:That's why I stayed so long. The mismanagement stuff I didn't see while I was in the trenches. Why do you have to go into government science? I have no idea what field you're in but there are probably tons of relevant/tangential options out there. I doubt that the government and your little outfit are the only people doing the research you want.

Muscular Typist posted:Hi thread, this is a cross-post from the Corporate thread regarding a job application that has progressed to the negotiation stage. I won't touch on the negotiation stuff but I will say that you're likely going to be able to make a huge jump moving to any other company at this point. I would be surprised if you weren't able to get a 25k raise in your current area to be honest, but I don't know CA that well. Just assuming San Diego / SF / whatever pharma location you're in operates similarly to MA. Start applying to more jobs locally if salary is important to you as well. Management is giving you raises but it seems to me you are underpaid a bit given your experience. I like Cambridge but the weather can suck at times if you don't do winter sports or something. Also if you do get moved, try to negotiate for them to cover moving expenses.

I'd get an offer first and see if it's worth changing for. They might be moving fast but it'll still take a bit of time to draft an offer, have you ask for an extra 10k/year, them revise the offer and then you tell them you want to give your previous employer 2-4 weeks notice to wrap up projects. You'll know whether or not your part time proposal is in the cards before you have to give notice.

Staggy posted:Hey, just want to say thanks for the advice in the OP. I recently applied for an internal opportunity at my current employer (basically going from temp to permanent) and couldn't figure out what sort of salary to expect/aim for. Congrats! I don't think you got played. If you're happy with the outcome that's a win. The higher salary, the benefits, and not being a temp anymore are all fantastic improvements. You're in a better position now as well since you now have a data point for what this company is willing to give you for the work you're doing. This will help you in future negotiations since you'll have a better idea of what salary to expect/aim for.

I mean you're not going to get away from it in certain industries. Leaving a job paying 100k/year and taking a job at 60k with 40k shares is probably a bad idea (financially). If it's great for your career and you don't mind the pay cut go for it. But you can't look at those shares and value them at anything but 0. They're worth nothing until they're worth something, and in a lot of industries they could turn back into nothing overnight. Edit: rationale really depends on person, their goals, etc. It's possible to get a raise and then get equity on top. Mr Newsman fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Jun 25, 2021 |
