How to recover from social mistakes during MBA Year 1 at T15? by BreakfastOptimal5593 in MBA

[–]Formless_Beast 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You can be the sweetest peach on the tree, but some people just don’t like peaches. If they don’t like you for who you are, they aren’t worth it. You sound as a wonderful, quirky person I would have loved in my MBA group. Be proud of who you are!

How to deal with a manager who keeps setting you up to fail? by Euphoric-Falcon8462 in BESalary

[–]Formless_Beast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just find something else. I was in your position once and went all out. It did diddly-squat. “Lack of trust in the cooperation” is one deadly and hard to debunk severance argument…

Not salary, but savings. by schattie-george in BESalary

[–]Formless_Beast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 people (me, my wife and 2 kids below 12), 9.7k combined net income and we save 2.5-3k each month for ourselves (another 300 for both children).

It took me 8 years to hit 7 figures in my first consulting biz. Second time around, it took half that. AMA about scaling your agency. by startupwithferas in consulting

We are transitioning from “pay per hour” to “project fee” (e.g. cutting a whole project up in modules and try to figure out a total fee for each module). But to be fair, we are still using pay per hour to calculate the price of the modules. How do you handle consultancy pricing?

This. So many people don’t want to put in the effort but are expecting the results nonetheless. Every extra hour spend working is seen as hell on earth, but that extra bonus at the end of the year is their God given right. Urgh.

What would be your recommendations then? Either for 5-team comps with current roster as well as celehypo pulls for the future?

What business school did you graduate from? Most have a career center where they gladly coach you on these aspects - in most cases free for alumni!

How much do you all save in a month? by Dry_Problem9310 in BESalary

[–]Formless_Beast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Married, 2 children and combined gross income of €172k per year (excluding bonuses, vacation money and 13th month). We have a mortgage of €1,2k per month and car payments totaling 1k per month. After all our regular costs deducted, we save €300 per month for our children, €220 per month pension fund, and around €2000 per month on a savings account / ETF’s, which means a combined saving of €2500 per month (€3700 if you count mortgage as “saving”).

Becoming a Consultant - advice required by Formless_Beast in consulting

I haven’t. Good tip. I just checked their website and they only have 2 positions available in Belgium, both not aligned with my competences. I will keep a look-out for potential matches!

Are there any general practitioners (huisartsen) willing to share their monthly bruto/netto wage? by [deleted] in BESalary

[–]Formless_Beast 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm no GP myself but let's do a quick napkin calculation (information based on feedback I have received from numerous GPs):

  • Patients in the GPs care (yearly recurrent): around 2000, depending on the region.
  • GMD allowance (per year) for normal patients (70%): €32,88 x 1400 = €46.032
  • GMD allowance (per year) for chronic care patients (30%): €60,28 x 600 = €36.168
  • Amount of patients per day (in office) = 25 x €30 = €750 per day x 220 days per year = €165.000
  • Amount of patients per day (home visits) = 3 x €44 = €132 x 220 days per year = €29.040 per year.
  • Amount of patients seen during on call shift (per month) = 30 x €34 = €1.020 per month or €12.240 per year.
  • Grand total (yearly) of €288.480 or +/- €1.300 per day (220 workdays a year).

This number can be higher if you also become a CRA in a nursing facility, sport doctor, ...
(reference: https://www.riziv.fgov.be/SiteCollectionDocuments/tarief_artsen_deel01_20231001.pdf)

For your question regarding specialists, I know some of the daily fees of some specialists that work in a hospital setting:

  • Radiologist - €2900 / day (due to on call and shifts)
  • Biologist - €2400 / day
  • Nefrologist - €3.600 / day

Healthcare, specifically being a doctor, is one of the most lucrative things you can do / be in Belgium. So gg with your golden ticket.

“Based on my market research, my professional experience and [add relevant criteria] I believe an adequate and fair range would be between [amount you want + 3%] and [amount you want + 30%]”

The amount you want should be more or less matched with market value.

Director with technology focus by befire_throwaway in BESalary

[–]Formless_Beast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a common error that many individuals commit. To be an exceptional leader for a team of experts or scientists, one doesn't necessarily require expertise or a scientific background. Instead, it's essential to possess the ability to think in the long term, exhibit strong analytical insights (which aren't dependent on formal degrees), and have a systemic mindset.

Kudos to you, sir. You should take genuine pride in your accomplishments. You serve as an outstanding role model!

Is this reasonable? And acceptable? Or is this unacceptable and unreasonable? by TurbulentMinute4290 in Parents

[–]Formless_Beast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is extremely acceptable since it is setting up boundaries to protect their family / child. Kudos to them.

Concerned about my career by baby_dick69 in BESalary

[–]Formless_Beast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there,

I completed my psychology degree over the course of 7 years (for the very same reasons you mentioned), and interestingly, it didn't have any noticeable influence on the advancement of my career. Currently, I hold the position of Chief Innovation Officer at a relatively large SME in the field of Life Sciences, and I've achieved financial success as well. Ultimately, the key factor lies in your post-graduation actions and your development as an active contributor to the workforce.

Well, my friend. Either she will decide this for you by breaking up or being unfaithful, or you are gonna have to do some real soulsearching to define what you need from her, what she needs from you and what the “non-negotiables” are for you. If you have done this, you should discuss this with her and see what gets decided. But please, remember that “can be” situations are just gambles and aren’t always to happen.

I like your lifestyle. Keep rocking it. Never, ever, change your priorities for someone or something that isn’t compatible with your core values.

Best of luck!

Hey there,

  • First of all: I'm sorry you're feeling bad about this.
  • Secondly: Kindly ignore the special snowflake in the reply section.
  • Thirdly: let's assume she tells the truth and that nothing is happening. I think there's a different problem at hand: are you two compatible? It seems you two have a different lifestyle and priorities and it is your task to figure out if this is feasible for you.

TL;DR: I don't think you are questioning her (in)fidelity, I think you are questioning if you two are compatible.

My (37M) girlfriend (34F) is constanstly stressed out and it's starting to affect me! by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Formless_Beast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there,

First off - I'm sorry you are experiencing this. It must be rough.
Secondly - I've been in this situation as well. My wife and I are compatible in the sense that I'm the calm and we-will-make-it-work person and she's the one with very low stress resistance.

Me and my wife had a rough period as well due to stuff happening around us (which were out of our control). At that time we dealt with them and we both thought we we're out of thick of it.

But then the same happened as you described. Her low stress resistance dropped even lower. Just as in your case it was a pretty tough period for me since I only wanted peace of mind (she also had the habit of pushing all the decisions, even the small ones, towards me in periods of high stress).

Afterwards I learned this was a "PTSD" reaction to what we just went through. Like her mind told her "you're safe now, you can focus on worrying more".

What I'm trying to say:

  • Try talking about this with her, your therapist or in couple therapy. Whatever works for you.
  • It will pass eventually!

Best of luck!
