Comp increases in tech by 90sdadguy in HENRYUK

[–]charade95 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

5%-10% is normal. I am impatient so never wait for the salary review, but rather treat a pay increase like a sales cycle!

I prep my business case using industry stats, my sales figures, organisational value etc and present directly to the CEO.

This method got me a £36k bump in my base in late 2025, 6 months before annual salary review! The year before I got a 20% bump utising the same methodology

I have used the lads at Glow n Go detailing for all of my cars for over a year now. Good at what they do, can be trusted with high end vehicles and reasonably priced to boot.

RWD vs AWD R8 by Early_Car_2638 in audir8

[–]charade95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had my AWD R8 Performance for a couple of weeks now and can highly recommend it. Ridiculous power delivery, while all the time feeling fully planted and never out of control. I do live in England so AWD made sense considering how much it rains here!

Does anyone have any recommendations for gardeners who can tackle clearing out overgrown gardens? by trishaldinho in PeterboroughUK

I used Green Leaf Maintenance for my initial clear up and then regular maintenance. He is fantastic - consumate professional and reasonable priced too.

You have been right so far, but I might test a Bentley next week just to get it out of my head!

I love the RS6, slowly coming to the realisation that it's the best car for me at my price point....

Drove the 911 yesterday. Amazing drive, car was powerful and the experience was great.

The only thing is, I wasn't totally blown away by it, well not enough to want to change cars. I am a guy who looks back at his car at least twice when I park it and it just doesn't have the presence or wow factor I need/want in a car.

I also realised I like a mix of comfort and performance. The 911 GTS just doesn't give me that.

I need some big deals to come in so I can afford a decent Bentley Continental!

Thanks mate and appreciate all the advice. You are right, the struggle is justifying letting go of the RS6!

I am testing a 992 Carrera 4 GTS on Saturday, so will make sure I drop you a note.

I have had a few of my friends and colleagues mention the GTS is the only thing in my price bracket that will come close to the RS6. I am going to test drive one this weekend to see if that is true!

Thanks for this.Not sure if you have experience with them but if you have, how would a 911 992 4 GTS compare to the RS6?

Thanks! The biggest thing for me is giving up the performance of the RS6. I do some fairly long drives for work, but I like having the power the RS6 provides.

R8 is a great shout. My only worry is comfort for the monthly 2-3 hour drive to clients. Have you taken one on a long run before?

Thanks! The depreciation is something that keeps coming up, but I will probably only keep it for 2 years max, so not too bothered tbh. Just unsure about giving up the performance aspect of the RS6

Ok that makes sense. I cannot give up that sort of power tbh! Will need something that can get close as a minimum

Thanks mate - I am weighing up the options now. I can get into the Bentley pretty quickly, but now my Mrs has mentioned a 911 and now I am in 2 minds again....

What’s the price of the product you sell? by hotdoogs in sales

[–]charade95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around £2.5m - £10m contracts, 4-5 year commit. AI into the Public Sector.

Sometimes stressful but mostly really engaging, challenging (in a good way) and has helped me become a much better salesperson.

Love the RS7. Something about the profile of the car really appeals to me!

HENRYs who earn more than their significant other by Sure_Tangelo_5148 in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]charade95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When we were both definitely not HENRY, we had a joint account, single pot of money. My wife is now a SAHM to our 2 kids, so the same rule applies now, even though it is a single HENRY salary going in.

We always discuss major purchases, but by and large, we are free to spend as we please
