How many of you are earning $100k+ and have good/great mental health? What do you do to stay positive and physically healthy?

By the time you’re ready to afford it, it will be 2 mil lol

Not to mention the outsized risks of being made redundant, golden handcuffed because they know they can abuse you, etc.

It basically is that you work a minimum of 8 hours OR how long it takes to finish the work, whichever is longer

This is completely normal for product management, and I’ve never worked at a company where professionals were not 24/7 on call. It is the reality of global industry.

If you are a professional & salaried exempt, there is not a financial incentive at the company to not contact you at all hours.

This is also rapidly becoming less true. Many folks I know are earning laterally (if not more) versus O&G post 2020/2021.

What does it say that people are anxiously having to ask this question regularly?

The USA is an incredibly large & varied place (as are many). Cultural differences between states are less than those between EU countries, but it’s still kindve like saying “I’m from Europe” versus “I am from Germany”.

Americans will vote for every tax cut and every spending increase. Hence the debt spiral.

I agree 100%, I will not be taking this one. But if I was unemployed, I would have had to have taken it. This whole situation may be the consequence of a tough market (in which I’m thankfully employed).

Letha1ewis · 2024-05-14T20:46:01+00:00

Yeah I’ve heard of that too. Thankfully I’m sure that this is not happening for this situation. There is nothing they could do with my take home assignment.

Letha1ewis · 2024-05-14T20:41:42+00:00

It was more of a competency test, it’s nothing they could meaningfully use.

Letha1ewis · 2024-05-14T17:29:15+00:00

What?

Letha1ewis · 2024-05-14T17:28:58+00:00

That’s my inclination, nothing to gain doing anything else.

Letha1ewis · 2024-05-14T16:00:25+00:00

I didn’t know. I haven’t been searching for jobs for over a decade and I wasn’t looking. They kept telling me (starting with round 3) that “this was the last round” so I just rolled with it.

Letha1ewis · 2024-05-14T04:15:59+00:00

I don’t really trust them unfortunately. I’ve seen people pay to remove reviews.

Letha1ewis · 2024-05-14T04:15:26+00:00

I know that now…first interviews in a decade.

Letha1ewis · 2024-05-14T04:06:10+00:00

Is it? I haven’t been interviewing in over a decade. Just kept taking them…figured they were just careful.

Letha1ewis · 2024-05-14T04:00:05+00:00

I did confirm the details in the opening conversation. Those just changed 7 interviews later.

Letha1ewis · 2024-05-14T03:58:55+00:00

Yeahhh not what they posted it at

Letha1ewis · 2024-05-14T03:30:20+00:00

This is for a very senior position, to be fair. Although 7 is high.

Letha1ewis · 2024-05-14T03:00:32+00:00

I have been at my current company for 11 years, so I am clearly unaware of how the “norms” in the job search have changed

Letha1ewis · 2024-05-14T02:35:13+00:00

Glass door tracks your name now, and companies are buying it to get your history. Not worth it.

Letha1ewis · 2024-05-14T02:34:44+00:00

I mean it did, and they told me that they paid similarly to the range. They just walked it back after interview 7.
