speedz99 145 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Got an offer from the firm I wanted for significantly less (like 40-55% less) than the other firm...also a substantial pay cut from my current job...being poor's not that bad, right Shake/Napa?Womp womp. Did you not know the compensation they were offering when you interviewed?Really wish it had been close to my current comp, would have made life a lot easier...Paycuts suck, but you're so young that it shouldn't matter as long as it's for a better opportunity. It's not like you're already locked into a mortgage, family, etc. As long as you weren't an idiot that went out and got a beamer or something stupid like that.Edit: I love BMWs, you know what I mean though.

Dread Aidan 8 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Is that the correct usage of "womp womp?"Dawson must've been doing alright for himself if a 50% pay cut is even something that can be offered, right? Link to post Share on other sites
iZuma 764 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 yeah the more I think about that the sillier it sounds to me. if I took a 50% paycut I'd be damn near below minimum wage. dawson must have been making bank. bastard. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I think womp womp is ok here. Wamp Wamp would be inappropriate, unless you took delight in his situation. Almost definitely failed my teat today. F it. On to the next one. Link to post Share on other sites
The Ocho 970 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 man every time I cook chicken my damn kitchen stinks like chicken for several days. ain't enough air fresheners in the state to get it out. beans can you ask your wife for suggestions?also: I've had a rash on various parts of my body for a couple days now. it's getting kinda annoying. problem is, I can't figure out what in the world I've eaten or done differently that might have caused it. nothing out of the ordinary at all. beans, you probably shouldn't ask your wife for suggestions on this one.It's most likely your stinky chicken. Your house shouldn't smell after making chicken, unless you are boiling it? You're not boiling are you? Because, that's fucking gross.and speaking of aids infested ties, our company christmas party is this saturday night. going with my black suit, white brooks brothers extra slim shirt, and a black jcrew tie. at least at this moment that's the plan. gonna draper all them bitches.Ya, you shouldn't do this. You're going to look like a waiter. You already get paid less than one. Remember dress for the job you want.

speedz99 145 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Horse meat, anyone?Is that the correct usage of "womp womp?"I guess it depends on the tone of voice it's read in.Dawson must've been doing alright for himself if a 50% pay cut is even something that can be offered, right?I think it was well established that Dawson was making more than the average bear, but I'm also a bit surprised that he could be offered a 50% pay cut. IN THIS ECONOMY. Link to post Share on other sites

Dawson Leery 12 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Womp womp.

It's not like you're already locked into a mortgage, family, etc. As long as you weren't an idiot that went out and got a beamer or something stupid like that.Edit: I love BMWs, you know what I mean though.It was never brought up or listed in the job description. I really had no idea where it would shake out, but I was hoping it would be close to the other offer.Is that the correct usage of "womp womp?"Dawson must've been doing alright for himself if a 50% pay cut is even something that can be offered, right? yeah the more I think about that the sillier it sounds to me. if I took a 50% paycut I'd be damn near below minimum wage. dawson must have been making bank. bastard.Financial Considerations:It's 40-55% less than the other firm's offer. It's about a 40-50% cut from my current comp. However, I think it's likely I will get promoted in 7 months - with the promotion my comp will increase by about 50%. If I don't get promoted I'm out of a job. Other Considerations:I like the firm, I want to get into investing and this is very much what I'm interested in. I have to move across the country in a month if I want to stay with my current firm, this allows me to stay where I am. I would be working 50-60 hour weeks, instead of 70-90.

A bit scary, sure, but an easy call nonetheless.Edit: I just realized I miscalculated and you'd still be at a pay but. But I feel like if you're moving up 50% in 7 months there's a lot more room for growth. Link to post Share on other sites
Dawson Leery 12 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Sorry I realize that wasn't clear. The promotion in 7 months is with my current firm - I'll either get a promotion and ~50% increase in comp, or get the boot. No clue what promotions / raises would be like at the new firm (big topic - my main focus for the next discussion). Link to post Share on other sites

So then you'd be making three times as much as in the new job you're considering? Now that becomes a really tough call. What's the growth potential in the new firm/industry compared to where you're currently at? Do you know anyone where the current firm is moving? Link to post Share on other sites
iZuma 764 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 come on dawson, there'll be new stuffpuppets in your new city. taking a pay cut like that is going to screw you for years. but on to more important things: ocho has got me second guessing my pimptastic outfit for the christmas party. any thoughts there mr. pilgrim? what's everybody's feelings on a black suit, black tie, on a dark navy shirt? Im afraid it'll be too much but it does seem quite modern. Link to post Share on other sites

Dread Aidan 8 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Oh, right, the girlfriend.How much money does she make? I think she should be the one who has to get a new job and she can move with Dawson to SF thereby making it so Dawson will never break up with her because of the guilt and they'll get married and have little Dawsons and mini-stuffpuppets.I am: salesman.

Im afraid it'll be too much but it does seem quite modern.i'm not a fan of dark shirts with dark suits. you gotta be all kinds of handsome to pull that off. the original outfit sounded quite don draper and that is always a good choice. but maybe because its the hollidays you can add some color in with a red gingham shirt. or a red tie perhaps. i'll usually wear a solid black tie with my red gingham shirt. very classy with a grey suit.edit: i picture you looking like this if you go with the draper look Link to post Share on other sites
