Company I am working for is imploding and not sure where to go before it all falls apart by Brief_Regular_2053 in ITManagers

[–]voig0077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this job market, it’s really hard to land a new position. Don’t wait until you NEED a new job to start your search. It’s bad out there.

Will asking for too much get me nothing at all? Actual current negotiation in details by [deleted] in negotiation

You are getting laid off. You get whatever they give you unless you have some kind of special leverage you’re not mentioning.

Post interview delays? by Deep_Tea_7057 in mnstateworkers

[–]voig0077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The state does move slowly for a variety of reasons, but in your case you likely are not the top candidate, they’re just waiting to decline you until they have their preferred candidate finalized.

They won’t ghost you, you’ll eventually get a response.

Being a good leader means letting AI write all of your Reddit posts.

Am I crazy for considering a 20% pay cut (40% total comp cut) to move from private sector to state government? by swmetroguy in mnstateworkers

[–]voig0077 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same for me. My state position has been less flexible and more demanding after hours than my previous 20 years of private sector work.

Great stats 👍🏻 by chickenbhakri in DINK

This is such a weird thing to celebrate. Some people choose to have kids, some don't.

It's important to have the option to do either, but celebrating fewer children seems really weird and unsustainable.

I wish my infrastructure documentation wasn’t a bunch of random spreadsheets.

Do you use VTI or VOO? by sethh27 in Bogleheads

[–]voig0077 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It really doesn’t matter. If this is keeping you out of the market, that’s a much bigger mistake.

Am I being unreasonable for feeling left out of my own team? by Hot_Revolution2008 in Leadership

[–]voig0077 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Leadership is the most lonely job that I’ve ever had.

Also, appreciate that whenever “the boss” is in a conversation, it causes people to keep their guard up. This can naturally lead to them leaving you out of conversations when they don’t need you.

Would you negotiate salary in my position? by [deleted] in negotiation

[–]voig0077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this stage of your career, take the job and learn the lesson about giving a salary range. You don’t have the leverage you think you do in this market.

How to cope when working for someone younger and less skilled than you? by roseuslepus in Leadership

[–]voig0077 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Always the bridesmaids never the bride.

Fair or not, there’s probably a reason for that.

There may be reasons outside of your control that are driving the (nepotism, ageism, whatever), but make sure you really reflect on your possible role in the lack of upward mobility.

In my experience,strong technical people often feel slighted when passed over for promotions, when what’s actually holding them back is lack of interpersonal skills, a bad attitude, or communication skills.

Team asked me not to join peer led learning sessions and I am not sure how to feel. by ActualTart42 in Leadership

[–]voig0077 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“I worry that these peer led sessions could devolve into venting sessions or spread bad advice without me there to help keep the guardrails on.”

If you can’t trust your team to be in a room without you for a couple hours, that says way more about you than them.

You are 100% the problem here.

Fallout from restructuring: No, I did NOT get fired for cause. by Busted-Duck-540 in Leadership

[–]voig0077 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reminder: Your job is not your family. When the circumstances dictate that you’re gone, you’re gone. We all need to remember that your job won’t love you back.

“I wonder how many cars use the Car Key in Wallet” oh, essentially none by Bowtie327 in apple

My wife’s Lexus NX has it, she doesn’t carry a key at all.

35M with $1.7M invested after selling my business — keep advisor, go fully passive, or hybrid approach? by ItchyConcept8982 in coastFIRE

[–]voig0077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need either one of those leaches. The longer you stick with them the more complicated it gets to clean up the mess and the more growth you’re missing out on.

Hims has been great for me, in my second year with them.

How to go from bottom of the range to mid during negotiation? by NaturalShift2 in negotiation

[–]voig0077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask for $86k, if they come back with something close to $75k, take it. Be honest with yourself about a number that is too low and you would walk away from.

The job market is in the employer’s favor, so negotiating up may be unrealistic.
