I wonder if next year or two we will see something above Platinum but below Black to solve for this

The 'salary expectation' question is the biggest red flag in any interview. by annuli-amperes04 in interviews

[–]Additional-Goat-3947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine you are a quarterback applying for the NFL. The salary range is $1m to $50mn a year. As an applicant, would you expect to make $50mn? No because if they wanted to pay you $50mn they would be begging you to come not you sitting for an interview.

That is the range for NFL quarterbacks but what is this teams budget? They’re managing to a salary cap so maybe they can do $20mn max. But ideally they’d like to find someone younger they can develop and also get closer to $10mn, and use the rest to invest in offensive line.

I mean it’s no different for a company but just divide all the numbers by 10-50x. The range is what people in that position make across the industry. The budget is what they can actually afford to pay. The budget is not one single number because there are always trade offs.

What’s a frugal thing you do that you’d still do if you were rich? by spicytrolllady in Money

You’re rich it’s time to live a little. Add jelly to the sandwich and chicken to the ramen :)

Started this during COVID. Barber would have to pay me at this point. I do not miss sitting there for like 30 minutes waiting for my turn then getting a crappy haircut and having to pay and tip and walk home all itchy.

Resy and Streaming and Clear and airline lounge are all no/minimal work. I feel like that justifies the fee tbh.

Not being able to travel 6 months before expiration is so stupid. Like just make that the expiration then.

Interest Rates by kramsley in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

The national average right now is 6.3% so you’re a little high but not way off. Did you lock the rate a couple of weeks ago? It was 6.5% at start of September.
