salary chat: 2018 in nyc i was at $120k with no bonus and poo poo bennies. moved to boston for $155k 15% bonus and top tier benefits. i work in security architecture. i'll probably be back in nyc within 2-3 years honestly. this was a good move short term because last job was total poo poo, but the wife wants to re-enter the workforce when the kid starts going to school and her industry is almost exclusively in new york.

For 4 years exp that's not bad in Vancouver. But you can definitely get more. At Amazon you'll be a solid 120k base salary at least.

Seattle That's not too bad imo... I made around 145 in Seattle but with about 10 years of experience... which is the reason I'm looking for another job right now :p My wife makes 140 with 4 years of experience, the real number is likely gonna be more since it doesn't include bonus/rsu or anything, but that's at a larger company. Are you at a small or large shop? The salary differences are insane

So I'm being put on a performance review plan for having the audacity to not work weekends. Manager just told me she wanted to avoid this because if(she means when) i'm let got the company will give a bad reference if they're contacted for employment verification. What the gently caress is this horseshit? Seems super illegal and like a tactic to get me to quit. I'm kind of panicking now and I hope I don't gently caress up the phone screens I have lined up.

Whats the timeline for your performance review plans? The nice thing (if there is a nice thing about this situation) is that they probably won't do anything until the end of the period, so you have a few months to get something else lined up.

"normal" employers will only say whether you are eligible for re-hire. if you were fired, the answer to that question is "no," which is bad.

UI doesn’t kick in if you don’t get involuntarily separated. UI will usually rule in your favor even if it’s “with cause” unless there’s like gross misconduct (like you get caught with ur dick in the xerox toner cartridge) or actual illegality. YMMV and whatever, but I’ve been PIP’ed and fired in Wisconsin and it’s never stopped me from getting UI (although sometimes you have to appeal the initial finding).

plus 1 to never quit, unless you just signed another offer. being fired has nothing to do with collecting unemployment unless as was said you photocopy your butt and give everyone a copy coming back from a PIP is the remote exception, not the rule. they are going to fire yo rear end, sorry, don't waste your weekends slaving away for nothing

pip is basically "we are lining up all our ducks in order to fire you for cause in 2-3 months" and the moment you are put on one you need to start job-hunting full time of the dozens of people ive seen go on pips, ive only seen one keep their job (a guy who was a good worker but who has habitually tardy. he got the message, started showing up on time, and was still there two years later when i left). for everyone else it was the prelude to an inevitable shitcanning

FMguru posted:pip is basically "we are lining up all our ducks in order to fire you for cause in 2-3 months" and the moment you are put on one you need to start job-hunting full time This is spot on. If you're on a Pip the manager has pretty much made the decision you're out and is following a formal process so you don't sue the company afterwards. It also has the added benefit of giving you a grace period to start finding a job before you're unemployed. When I was managing a team, there was only one individual I was ever going to put on a PIP and that was after my team lead under me, and I had exhausted our options trying to work with them. They saw where things were heading and thankfully put in their resignation the day I was meeting with HR to formally begin the process (they had landed another job). If your manager isn't a psychopath it's also something they dread doing, but it sounds like yours is a turd. TerminalRaptor fucked around with this message at 06:41 on Feb 20, 2019 |
