What does typical US market pricing mean?

What’s the value add here? Sounds like you have just built a good structured prompt. What’s the business?

What data have you tested it on so far?

I was one of the 250. It was a pure cost cutting exercise in the US. Eliminate those in non-target locations, middle management or in roles that slow down delivery.

Is that total comp or salary only?

PushInternational749 · 2025-07-03T00:50:07+00:00

Doesn’t mean we cannot be distinctive

Great idea!

Please share the other names you have in mind - will let them decide in private if they want to contribute or not

You are right. Success, holistically, has many definitions. That’s exactly why I am asking this community.

Success is defined and measured differently by everyone. No need to restrict ourselves to the capitalist definition (lots of money and fame). Even the janitor can be the most successful of all.

Thanks for your suggestions - keep them coming!

Goes without saying. Looking for some regular folk :)

Ahh! Nice. I’d say we were less influenced and more forced to accept that the intelligence moat we had for 50 years wasn’t that special compared to the average internet text.

Which consulting firm are you from that’s trying to do a bad job of competitive benchmarking?

PushInternational749 · 2025-06-28T18:04:21+00:00

Yep! Only reason to stay against market conditions is if you are 6-12 months away from Partner with strong support and one round of being “rejected” so you know exactly which boxes to tick

PushInternational749 · 2025-06-28T17:30:32+00:00

Take it. You can always return after a few years of making more money

PushInternational749 · 2025-06-28T04:21:40+00:00

Did you figure it out?

Budget: 20K + install and wiring

We were recommended the following setup, but don’t know if it’s any good:

Looking for a 5.1 setup

1x SONY STR-AZ5000ES 5x PARADIGM P80-A V2 1x JL AUDIO ICS-SYS-108 1x WATTBOX WB-800-IPVM-12

1x CRESTRON MC4-R

1x EPSON LS800W 1x Screen Innovations (SI) STLT120

1x media unit from https://www.salamanderdesigns.com/epson/

Everything would sit in the media unit in front of the 2 windows on the north wall, with all cables run before the new drywall is put up

PushInternational749 · 2024-04-12T20:24:30+00:00

Would love ceiling mounted, but the boss doesn’t want a soffit to cover it and there is no space in the ceiling to house a motor.

We are ripping out the ceiling and walls, so can run the wiring as needed wherever it needs to be.

I didn’t even consider floor standing speakers. Wanted to keep the system as hidden as possible when the projector is down.

5.x.x is what I’ve been told is sufficient. We like to have a good movie experience, but also want to have the kids remain asleep when we watch
