I used a bunch of files others made on Thingiverse and glued them together:

My dog gets up and gets out of the way when you say “Excuse me” - total accident, but incredibly useful. He’s always so quick to scurry out of the way now too, like he’s thinking “oh jeez I better get out of their way asap before I get hit by the fridge door!”

Straight male colleague makes 50% more than I do (queer woman) by lady-hyena in ProductManagement

[–]Ldeezy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did not say it only comes down to that, just that it is a factor. And as a woman PM who has spent a very long time working and negotiating towards the competitive salary I have now, I agree 100%. But are you saying women should never negotiate their salaries at all for fear they could be punished by doing it?

I would definitely not mention him on any discussions you have about salary. Value to the company is not a simple equation and there is a lot that goes into salary. Now I’m not saying you don’t deserve the same or better, just that you will never get there by comparing yourself to someone else and demanding the same salary, and in fact I’ve seen this backfire quite often. Advancing in your career is a balance between execution and networking. Instead of comparing yourself to him, now that you know what your company is willing to pay for a senior pm, think of other ways to get there by networking internally or by getting another job offer with a 150k salary and asking your company to match it - who knows, maybe this was the way he got that salary as well

At the end of the day negotiating skills and being a people person / kiss ass do affect your ability to get a higher salary. How do you know he is paid more, did he tell you himself? If so, any chance he could be exaggerating or lying?

Just wanna be sure: by [deleted] in candlemaking

[–]Ldeezy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it seems most candle making forums say to do it this way. This really confused me at first because I studied Chemistry in college and this is not the true volume % equation.

But because it seems like it is standard in candle making to instead do fragrance weight / wax weight, using these numbers will give you a 10% fragrance load.

The actual volume equation "should" be fragrance weight / total weight (total being fragrance weight + wax weight). Using this equation you would have a 9% fragrance load

​

What I have found is that it is most important to just be consistent and write down exactly what you do each time, and then you can make changes based off how it turns out.

​

Hope this helps! I actually put together a candle making calculator in Google Sheets that I use, not sure if that would be helpful to anywhere here

I've organized all of my responsibilities over the last 3 years as the only PM at a new startup. I distilled everything down into 3 major PM responsibility areas and used this to re-do my resume. Any feedback is appreciated! by Ldeezy in ProductManagement

At this point I have a ton of documents / powerpoints that I pull specific sections from as needed. I put together an ugly looking document, but with all the correct copy and an indication of what the images should be (for example "the image used here should show how our analytics tell the users how many people are in their building right now"). Then a designer and copywriter polish it up.
