      Pros

      Friendly coworkers, great customers, awesome work environment!

      Cons

      The pay is pretty low.

    2. I want to feel a sense of responsibility and belonging. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get to that feeling in consulting due to the ever evolvement of clients/engagements. 2 questions. 1) Is my assumption correct? 2) Are there careers in industry that provide that sense of ownership and responsibility? I want to wake up and look forward to providing true value to a product.

      3. Our new CMO has hired several of “his people” including a Director of SEO. I found out this Director is making $160K. Ive been with the company 3 years, make $120K in and was just offered a $15K raise. I contribute significantly more than this new Director and easily have 4X the workload + 5 more direct reports, but don’t feel like I’m being compensated for my true value. What can I say that lets leadership know I want to be compensated fairly (without bringing up the other Director’s comp)?

      4. How do you negotiate on TC when you don't have any leverage and the employer knows that? Especially in current climate, options may be just stay in current role or accept an offer that - even if it's a raise - might be below your true value.

        Stay in current role and/or buy time until you can get leverage.

      5. What’s the best way to check if a list of texts is also in another list or array of texts. If it’s true, I want the cell to produce a true value next to the column of data , I think it involves =IF and ISNUMBER. I don’t want to use vlookups because data not on left hand side of page.

      Anyone have any stories of times where you declined an offer at one company (just because it wasn’t the exact right fit or you got another better offer at that time) and u successfully re-connect? Is that a burned bridge forever? Would they consider you for another job again?
