What is the typical b4 director salary in NY and London in Risk and in Tech? Asking for a friend. I am not sure what was offered to him.

In addition to JPMorgan, now IBM CEO said that just around 20 percent of employees are actually bothering to show up at the office and he highly doubts that they will be able to bring more than 60 percent back when all is said and done. I love seeing... — read more
RTO update - saw 5x as many people in the office today!!
(meaning there were 4 besides me on a floor that seats 1,000) People are voting with their feet, so management has their answer. Just think of the massive savings of stopping all those meaningless surveys.

I'm a good employee and I know I'd be missed if I left, but if I approach my boss for a raise I know the answer will be no. I made the mistake of correcting him soon after I joined (I was right, by the way) which apparently put me on his sh-----t... — read more

I think those who would like to be paid to leave are in majority
I have a lot of complaints, but I still love my job here and I wouldn’t like to lose it. I don't think the grass is much greener anywhere, it just depends on what one's priorities are. On the other hand, I think never (and I’ve been working here... — read more
