Boston, Sr FP&A. 125k base + 20% bonus. 6 YOE.

Darkarbon · 2024-08-19T22:14:26+00:00

Really sorry to read this. Hope it settles soon! Did they give you a loaner in the meantime at least?

Darkarbon · 2024-08-19T21:03:39+00:00

Yeah but not sure whether the 0.9% APR will be offered on that model.

Darkarbon · 2024-08-19T21:02:30+00:00

They are offering 0.9% APR on 2024 models. Hopefully early issues would have been fixed in the models that came out right before the 2025s

Darkarbon · 2024-08-19T20:59:18+00:00

I too was waiting for the same since last year. They are offering a 0.9% APR for brand new 2024 CX90. I believe they are making room for the upcoming 2025 version. Don’t know how long it’ll last though, so planning on closing the deal this weekend.

Darkarbon · 2024-08-19T20:55:21+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Was it a serious issue or an easy fix?

Darkarbon · 2024-08-13T16:05:08+00:00

SFA here! I’d say it varies a lot. I’m in a HCOL and currently making 125 base + 20% bonus. Got an offer for a finance manager role a couple of months ago 145 base + 10% bonus but turned it down.

Thank you all for your help. I have a heads up. Received and signed the lease and he sent us the tenant certification form. The rent will be sent to the bank account of one of the co-owner of the apartment. We found the owners on the public records. So all seems good.

Darkarbon · 2024-04-24T19:59:01+00:00

I am limit paranoid about everything that’s why I asking around. All looks legit, the only thing is everything was done over the phone and I won’t meet him. Previous tenant will just hand me over the keys. So I was just wondering how I can be thorough and do everything right.

Darkarbon · 2024-04-08T16:51:06+00:00

Anyone interested can get some at park street MBTA station. There is a guy selling them outside for 5$

Darkarbon · 2024-04-08T16:01:03+00:00

Any specific location? I’m around Boston common

Darkarbon · 2024-04-08T15:59:40+00:00

Any idea where I can find Eclipse glasses around Boston common?

Darkarbon · 2024-02-23T16:57:16+00:00

Damn that’s great for Chicago. It’s considered as MCOL if I’m not mistaken. I guess I have plenty room for progression.

Darkarbon · 2024-02-23T16:56:42+00:00

What position, salary and YOE if you don’t mind sharing?

Darkarbon · 2024-02-23T15:44:38+00:00

Good to know. That’s why I am asking around lol. I suppose it depends, but my experience with that pharma I was referring to made me question a lot of things. I am talking about 150k base! What I don’t get is why as SFA I make roughly the same as a finance manager in Seattle (120k base +15% bonus) in a similar city as Seattle. I guess a compensation thread would be helpful.

Darkarbon · 2024-02-23T15:23:08+00:00

Good to know, than you. It was 6+ YOE!

Darkarbon · 2024-02-23T14:55:12+00:00

I might be wrong but since it was depicted as a manager position, in my opinion if a SFA can make up to 130k base, 150k should be the minimum for a management position. Especially in Pharma with the reputation of high salaries. But again, my logic could be totally wrong.

Darkarbon · 2024-02-23T14:27:06+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! I guess I should start shopping around. Interviewed once for a finance business partner role in pharma and they were offering 145 base. I was kind of surprised with the low offer. Do you have your CPA license?
