Pretty picture & hot tip ---- when switching jobs, calculate a 10% bump for an internal move and 20% for an external move.
When you're in the (job search) game, this your salary expectation. Do NOT sell yourself short. Every job and negotiation matters. 💲💲💲
****exclusions apply including considering the FULL compensation package, switching industries, cost of living adjustments, terribly undercompensated salary history, etc.

On this #InternationalWomensDay I'm reflecting on how much women do every damn day. How much we accomplish. How much we contribute. How much we nurture. How much we create.
I'm reflecting on how much of this busy-ness is necessary. How much is adding to our lives, feeding our souls, bringing us joy?
What would happen if we simply didn't?
Today and everyday, let's give ourselves permission to rest. Can we do less?
For me at work, that means doing my work and not talking on the responsibilities of others. For me at home, that means asking my partner to carry an equal load of chores. For me in my social life, that means saying no to things that drain my energy.
What would doing less like look and feel like for you?
Reflecting at the #ReflectingPool💡🤓💡
Life's not perfect. Not all days are good days. Some days are meh. And, some days are down right💩But, a bad day isn't a bad life. And, finding good things on bad days helps. Gratitude is the most powerful tool to ensuring a bad day doesn't turn into a bad week.
While we're on the topic of gratitude, I'm thankful for my girl, Niki, who is always ready for an adventure🐩How's your day going? And, what are you grateful for?

“There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing."
✨
Friends, criticism is part of life. It's not my favorite part of life (obvi, that's jetsetting) but, heck, it's unavoidable and absolutely necessary for long-term growth.
🌱
Friends, let's talk it out. How do you handle criticism? How do you discern the constructive (or not so constructive but valid) criticism from the haters❔

NEW BLOG POST📢
"Health Insurance and other sexy things".
.
A few excerpt nuggets below::: Confirm when your new health insurance will begin. Your first day of work and your first day of insurance coverage are not always the same. In the private sector, the insurance coverage start date is sometimes negotiable. Remember to negotiate in order of importance. Health insurance start date is something to negotiate after salary but before signing an offer letter. Being uninsured is an unacceptable risk and most employers will respect that and work with you to ensure that’s handled.
When you quit a job, health and dental insurance coverage will continue until the end of the month. Timing your last day to be at the beginning of the month will reduce the likelihood of a gap in coverage.
Stock up on your prescriptions including birth control. Sometimes paperwork takes longer than it should. Plan ahead to minimize the chance you’ll run out by getting a few months in advance, if possible.
FSA money will expire at the end of the month. If you have “use it or lose it” FSA money, stock up on contacts, bandages, condoms, etc. Tampons and other feminine health products are not FSA eligible.
Note #1: Wait, condoms are covered but tampons are not? Yes, that’s exactly what I’m telling you. Let’s elect people who believe in common sense policies that don’t unfairly discriminate against women. VOTE! VOTE FOR WOMEN!
Note #2: HSA is your money and does not ever expire. If you’re squirreling away pre-tax money for medical expenses, save yourself the absurd FSA rules and go with the much more useful HSA.
