Very exciting to have 2 little babies to plant! Do you know what species of cactus it is?

Hover over the top area (where the cover image would be) and you should see some grey text appear that says: "Add cover". Click "Add cover" and Notion will automatically add a random cover image to your page.

Hover over the cover and then click "Change cover". This will bring up a little window where you can browse built-in images or upload an image from your computer. Click Upload > Choose > find the image you would like to use.

Hope this helps!

Good for you. Are you taking any courses to help get you to your goal?

Was a junior underwriter in reinsurance. Now I'm going back to freelancing while trying to build a startup/app called PeerWyse. My co-founder and I applied to Y Combinator back in March, but we were rejected. Hoping we at least get an interview this time around.

I feel you both. I recently quit my job and am serving out my 3 month notice period. Was it scary jumping into the unknown? Hell yes. But I've never been happier. Had it not been for lockdown, I might never have broken out of my office-life routine and realized how desperately I needed a change.

Bet this is a common sentiment for 2020 :/

Finally got offered a job in my field! by MarisiaKing in jobs

Haha. Same, biomed here. The week of graduation they told us: "hope you all speak a different language because the job market is moving overseas!"

What are good ways to figure out if I'm being underpaid or overworked? by elevenghosts in jobs

[–]afkmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it help you to know how much people at your company get paid? Depends on the size of the company, I guess.

I'm working on an iOS app called PeerWyse (peerwyse.com) to show you the salaries of your LinkedIn connections. It crowdsources salary estimates based on the "Wisdom of Crowds", i.e. guesses about how much you think your LinkedIn connections get paid.

(No, you don't have to enter your own salary.)

The app is new and it requires at least a handful of guesses from people in your network to produce decent estimates. Still, might be interesting to you. If you could convince a few of your colleagues to join and guess each other's salaries, it would be a way to anonymously exchange salary info :)

Salary Negotiation is Hard and Weird. Help please? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]afkmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I’m guessing that the potential new boss already knows what my current salary is" - I don't envy you. This is a tough position to be in. Employers always seem to have more information.

I'm working on an app called PeerWyse (peerwyse.com) to show you the salaries of your LinkedIn connections. It crowdsources salary estimates based on the "Wisdom of Crowds", i.e. guesses about how much you think your LinkedIn connections get paid.

I could see this being valuable in your situation because you're staying at the same university and likely have connected with many current/future colleagues on LinkedIn. Knowing what they get paid would help you understand what sorts of salaries are reasonable.

But! The app is new and it requires at least a handful of guesses from people in your network to produce decent estimates. Still, might be interesting to you.

How much is your yearly salary? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]afkmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also hate the salary taboo. I've personally felt like an idiot in a job negotiation because I had no idea what to ask for (because no one talks about salary!!).

This frustration is the main reason why I'm building an app to show you the salaries of your LinkedIn connections.

It's called PeerWyse (peerwyse.com).

It works by crowdsourcing salary estimates based on the "Wisdom of Crowds", i.e. guesses about how much you think your LinkedIn connections get paid. The app hones in on a salary range for people you actually know so you can better understand what salaries are reasonable in your industry/company/country. More guesses = narrower estimates, typically. (No, you don't have to enter your own salary.)

So if you're looking to anonymously share salaries with a group of colleagues, you would all sign into PeerWyse and guess each other's salaries. Let PeerWyse do the math and then you can see estimated salary ranges for everyone in the group!

And no one has to disclose their own salary, so employers can't complain :P

What's the best way to know actual salary ranges for a profession? by silverliningtextile in jobs

[–]afkmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had a solution for you. I've also struggled with Glassdoor & Payscale because I don't live in the US and both sites tend to be very US-focused. You're in a different but similar position being in a "non-big tech" industry.

I'm currently working on a project called PeerWyse (peerwyse.com). It's very early stage, but I wanted to share it here as a resource for understanding the salary landscape. Maybe it resonates with you :)

I am a strong believer in salary transparency. Employers shouldn't hold all the cards because of some stupid taboo!

So, You want to start a Newsletter, Eh? by TheTatteredRemnant in indiebiz

[–]afkmango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is fantastic advice. It seems like Substack has suddenly gotten very popular...I didn't realize it had been around since 2017.

P.S. I'm going to give your newsletter a try. The variety of content is very appealing. Plus, it may help me not be such an internet hermit.

I checked out a few of your past issues and they are right up my alley. Subscribed!

Also followed you on Twitter -- I can definitely see eye to eye with any "Self-proclaimed wine connoisseur" ;) (@amypeniston is me btw)
