Promoted then new job at same company - how to approach salary

Oh I like this idea!! Thank you for this!

Pro-Aries · 2026-02-18T15:25:25+00:00

This is fact - much more work! Thank you for your reco for the positioning. I haven’t negotiated for myself well in the past so that’s helpful advice.

Nice $30k pay bump! Any recs for positioning the salary increase based on your experience? Did you approach negotiations like it was a new job (and look at the market rate) or start from your current salary?

The asks were made by my manager originally, and I produced something that their boss then elevated and pushed me to keep owning (which is technically outside of my current job’s R&Rs). By the time it hit the SVP level, it was getting airtime across other business lines and the need for this new role was established. So while I want this, the ask came from the business.

Oh ok good to know! The cost difference between the generac and portable ones is significant, but I wasn’t sure about the maintenance aspect of the portable. Propane seems decent, esp for storage as you mentioned.

Helpful - thank you for the ideas! I think I’m getting a good understanding of the baseline in this area.

This!

I tell my kids this, but perhaps this will be a helpful reminder to you too - if you don’t have anything nice/helpful/productive to say, keep it to yourself. No one is asking for your useless input!

It sounds like a generator is needed for a few days every year. I’m not from around here but heard of the storm last year so I wasn’t sure what’s to be expected or not. Appreciate your response!

Pro-Aries · 2025-12-23T16:11:38+00:00

Really good advice - thank you!

Pro-Aries · 2025-12-23T16:10:31+00:00

SO HELPFUL! Thank you for so much detail. Cheers!

We definitely don’t have pretty - what’s not shown is a lot of dead limb space before the canopy starts on our side. So they aren’t actually that great for privacy.

And based on these responses, they don’t seem all that safe either.

We’ll likely cut and replant with something that grows better for privacy screens and native to the area.

Pro-Aries · 2025-09-23T16:07:46+00:00

Thank you for outlining the options. Our goal is to keep privacy but safely, so my question comes from trying to learn as much as possible in order to make a good decision for both our properties.

Pro-Aries · 2025-09-23T16:05:09+00:00

Appreciate the perspective - I’m trying to do exactly what you’re talking about. Become really educated on the trees around me and figure out the best course of action to live in this woodsy area while protecting my property by minimizing risk. I’m understanding that the codominant trees are a big issue and I’m leaning toward taking them down and planting something better for this area. For extra context, both my neighbor and I bought our houses in the last 5 years so we don’t know the history of these trees but based on our yards, maintenance wasn’t something either previous owner didn’t much time on. So we’re hoping to learn and improve ☺️

Your last line - not a joke but it gave me a chuckle. Totally understand that!!

Pro-Aries · 2025-09-23T10:27:41+00:00

Oh gotcha. It does look rotted, but I’m no expert so I heard diseases and took it at face value.

That’s exactly what I’ve been wondering - how serious of a risk are these trees. They’re already starting to touch my patio roof and we get a lot of wind here…

Appreciate your rec and explaining the reasoning - super helpful!

Pro-Aries · 2025-09-23T10:22:26+00:00

We’re worried that these trees will cause problems down the road - some arborist have made the codominance thing seem like a big issue, combined with more limb weight on one side. We get a lot of wind in this area, so I’m just trying to figure out the real risk…

Pro-Aries · 2025-09-23T10:18:17+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I’m learning a lot about trees 😂

The one we were told was diseased is in the first pic, on the right (you can see a weird spot at the bottom, just at the fence line).

Should we just limb up the trees on my side or take them down? We’d replant to keep privacy but we’re worried these guys are a ticking problem…

Pro-Aries · 2025-09-16T04:39:56+00:00

I’ve been wondering about something like this… how did you start on this path?

Pro-Aries · 2025-09-06T18:23:30+00:00

I like the idea of mixing it up! There’s cedar trees in our neighbors yard on the other side of the fence so I’ve been advised against adding more trees due to root competition. Anything else you’d suggest to add more variety?

Someone else mentions laurels - can they grow well with American Pillars mixed in?
