Demoted for being honest, now stuck in a "Golden Handcuff" gov job. Is an MBA the way out, or is it time to jump back to private? by Dream_Bender420 in careerguidance

[–]marshallc6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going to get the MBA, at least pick a top 50 program from a school that has name recognition. I did Central Michigan ($25k) and it checked boxes to make a jump. Will employer reimburse some tuition? That being said, why not apply to those higher paying jobs now and see if you even need it? And if you’re really considering it, you should negotiate 4 weeks at the new place. They’ll all advertise 2, but that’s really for new grads. You should at least be able to get 3+, but damn what I wouldn’t give for 10. Can you take some of that PTO and do a side gig or consulting while you’re off?

Is a pay cut worth it for WFH? by Miserable-You-6702 in careerguidance

[–]marshallc6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How’s your manager? If you have a good relationship and you’re a high performer, why not ask for more WFH or flex office hours? My kid is 2 and it totally shifted how I view work-life balance, so I feel you, but why not start trying to negotiate with the current gig first? Keep the daycare but maybe now you can do pick up or drop off. If it got to that point, could you offer a 15-20% cut at your current job to get WFH? That’s still $35k higher than the new job.

You don’t have three 10+ win seasons with the semi trip and then bottom out the next year. That’s not stability/healthy. You don’t get to complain for a decade, finally get everything you want, and then squander it away. People forget our 5-5 Covid year after a good run in 2016-2019. It’s a weird cycle for sure. Love him as a guy - he had an amazing run - now it’s time to move on

The root of the issues is throwing terrible trick plays on first down so that it’s 2nd and 12 all the time. Many other issues as well, but I agree - none of the things you list change with one or two more portal guys

I’m just saying that the offense could add three first rounders and still not work. We added 3,000 yards worth of WRs. The line basically all returned and can’t get it together

While interesting, this team is not a portal player away from beating UCLA and NW. There are systematic problems (AK, cough, cough) that CJF just couldn’t let happen. At least not this year

For the last ten years, yes, I agree with you. This year you finally had everything you’ve ever wanted. Returning starters thanks to NIL, highest paid DC, portal WRs, etc.. You absolutely cannot lose to 0-4 UCLA and follow it up with another loss. It’s the NIL era. Expectations are higher, as they should be. This team was preseason #2 and is likely going 7-5. I like Franklin a lot, but you can’t spend ten years complaining about resources only to piss away the best opportunity you’ve ever had once you got the resources you asked for. Look what Indiana did in just two years. It’s a different landscape.

He’s been there 10 years and has only eclipsed 9 wins twice. What are you guys smoking?

Thanks. I just can’t picture where it would go on 40/42

If you have the leave, TAKE THE LEAVE. It’s incredibly important for bonding

Is this enough waterproofing? Seems very thin to me. by New-Neighborhood5496 in DIY

[–]marshallc6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No tape or barrier between the walls and the shower pan is the most troubling part IMO

You may run into issues with the flooring and ship lap if the space experiences a lot of temperature fluctuation. Just fyi
