I feel like the tech industry has completely warped my perception of money. I find myself getting jealous of people making $250k on Reddit, while completely forgetting that my current salary puts me in the top percentage of earners in my own zip code. My non-tech friends are struggling with groceries, and here I am complaining that my RSU refresher wasn't high enough this quarter. How do you ground yourself?

I just received a job offer that is a massive step up in title and salary, but the online reviews for the team’s culture are absolutely terrifying. Half the Glassdoor reviews mention high turnover and a toxic leadership style, while the interviewers themselves seemed incredibly stressed out during our calls. The extra $30k a year would change my financial life. Would you take a risk on a known toxic environment?

A close teammate told me they were put on a PIP. I want to be a supportive friend and help them map out their metrics, but HR has already started removing them from long-term project channels. How do you actually help a peer survive a PIP without painting a target on your own back?

Are we just going to be living in a perpetual state of fearing layoffs? Within the last year it seems like there are rumors on a monthly basis about my company planning layoffs and I've heard similar things from others in tech. I know the job market normally ebbs and flows but it feels with the advent of AI this is just forever going to be our lives now. What to do? 😭

Would you rather get a 20% raise or an extra six weeks of PTO? For me I would take the raise…
