i had a coworker at intel whose wife stayed back in texas to finish up her PHR certification for a year or so, he rented while looking for a place to buy when she was able to move out. i still own my place up in sac, renting it out while living in SF like yeah it sucks picking up everything and moving away from friends, institutions. but like.. have the conversation? also dump trucks full o' cash don't make up for friends and family being hours/states/timezones away, you're dooming you and your wife to rebuilding social lives in Trump's america

what to heck is a "top 10 executive"? from my linked spam:quote:I hope you're well. I just got off the phone with the COO from my top client, one of the fastest growing companies in the consumer tech space, as he looks to make a key hire in his FW team. He recently joined and was previously a top-10 executive at Microsoft. The company is very well backed, have already brought multiple products to market and just launched the first generation of their flagship product which has received a massive amount of great press. Their valuation will also be jumping 4x from $250M to $1B within the next 6-8 months. The Management posted:thanks for all of the gooney advice. there are a lot of details that I didn't mention that factor into this. I would rather stay married than have the money, that's an easy decision for me. I'm just trying to work out if there's any way to make both happen that doesn't kill me with travel. it's unlikely. oh well, some figgies can't be got. im assuming you would've had flights involved?

The Management posted:I'm not sure I would call it gently caress you money but definitely something you can't walk away from. for a while there when I was working for a rocket ride stock my bonus RSUs were worth more than my base pay by the time they vested. it's hard to look at a guaranteed multiple of your base that all you have to do is sit around and collect and think about leaving. hm, ive mostly heard it in the context of acquisitions where it's definitely a huge lump sum waiting at the end but yeah recruiters have complained about amazon folks currently pulling down $300k+ and expecting that to be matched by salary right out the gate at a new place

The Management posted:how about better employees that are getting things done and contributing materially get a bigger bonus than their bad colleagues that are actively lighting fires? idk when you get 6~7 deep from the CEO, your own work contribution can get inflated or wholly wiped out by terrible decisions at the director level like how do you equitably give out bonuses to the guy working hard whose SVP hosed up reading the market and the division isn't profitable vs. the slacker under a SVP who lucked out and was sitting on a goldmine? ime big companies do formulas, intel had 2 bonus types that kicked out maybe 30 days total per year?

The Management posted:ideally your boss fights for you if you busted your rear end (lol). but there will be a smaller bonus pool because your vp is dumb so you should gtfo of that department. so as stockholm as it sounds, some global formula that takes in ((division results ) / (division objectives)) * (company health) = X days salary skips all those meetings, pays out to everyone within 50% or so, seems to make a lot more sense intel amended the bonus formula once. it relied on GAAP. guess when

most places are paying EE's significantly more than $80/hr and would rather farm out the grunt work and have them spend an hour checking while doing more schematic work tho
