1 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: Hey, Hey, BA fam, it's Mandra. We are back for 2 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: another week of Brown Ambition today, y'all. I avoided it 3 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: for so long. I am on my own today. It 4 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: is weird just talking to myself, but I'm just going 5 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: to pretend that all my BA fam is in the 6 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: room right now. I really want to get to some 7 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: of y'all's questions. So I am back today solo with 8 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: a ba q and a As always, we send our 9 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: love and our light and so many virtual hugs to 10 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: our girl Tiffany as she continues to heal. You know what, 11 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: why don't y'all go and send Tiffany a DM and 12 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: just let her know how incredible she is and how 13 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: much we love her, and let her know that the 14 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: BA fam is thinking about her always, especially if you 15 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: have anyone in your life life who is going through 16 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: a tough time. You know, even though we are moving 17 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: on and it feels like a lot of time has passed, 18 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: you never know what kind of journey they are on 19 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: through their healing. And I think it's sometimes a little 20 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 1: awkward and uncomfortable to reach out, but I think if anything, 21 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: it can never hurt just to send a little bit 22 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: of support in a positive note. I do that all 23 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: the time, so it would be great if BA fan 24 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: would just centive a little bit of love. But I 25 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: am here. I am here. I am still rocking with y'all. 26 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:38,279 Speaker 1: What's going on outside of Brown Ambition for Mandy these days, Well, 27 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: my career, coaching and my business have been just I 28 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: don't even know how to describe it, y'all. I started 29 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: this journey last June not really sure of what the 30 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: next year or multiple years after would look like. But 31 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: I just had a lot of faith in myself and 32 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: I'm so glad that I took that risk. Since I 33 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: launched Mandy my last summer, I have coached close to 34 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: two hundred women across the country and across the world. 35 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: I've had clients in Kenya and Germany and the UK 36 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: and Canada, and it's been such a wonderful privilege to 37 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: get to talk to so many incredible people and help 38 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: them as they're navigating their career crossroads, and it's been 39 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: a joy. I'm also now y'all can catch me on 40 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: Yahoo Finance, where I am there bi weekly every other week, 41 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: chatting with the lovely host there in the afternoon Wednesdays 42 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: at one between one and two, and I'm covering all 43 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: things career and wealth building. I've been featured in publications 44 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: that I cannot even wrap my head around, like The Economist, 45 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: The New York Times, CNBC. It has been you know, 46 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: I think my journey especially is just proof of when 47 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: it comes to navigating your career, it really isn't a 48 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: linear path. You just have to make the best choices 49 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: with the information that you have at the time, don't 50 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 1: be afraid to take risks, and just keep putting one 51 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: foot in front of the other and just trust in 52 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: the journey, trust that you may not end up or 53 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: you may not even know where you're going to end up, 54 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: but that you're going to end up somewhere phenomenal, and 55 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: just having a lot of trust in myself and knowing that, 56 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: you know, there's no such thing as job security. Really, 57 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: I think our job security is ourselves. It is our talent, 58 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: It is our ability to bounce back from whatever challenges 59 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: we encounter. And if there's one thing that I've learned 60 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: over the past I don't know ten to fifteen years 61 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,119 Speaker 1: of my career, is that I'm always going to rise 62 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: to the top. I'm always going to float. You know what, 63 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: I mean land on my feet. And it's that faith 64 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: and trust in myself that has really allowed me to 65 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: step out in this way. And I just thank y'all 66 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: for all of the support and a special shout out 67 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: to the Mandy Moneymakers, which is my special group coaching 68 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: cohort that I just launched in January.

That's brandambispodcast dot com already, so let's 84 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: do it. So our first question comes from listener Paula. 85 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: Paula is going through something that Peloton workers right now 86 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: are all experiencing. Did you guys hear the news about 87 00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: Peloton laying off twenty eight hundred workers in one fel SWA. Now, 88 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: this is a really good example of the fact that 89 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: no job is secure, even if you are the latest 90 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: unicorn company. You know, Peloton had a phenomenal, phenomenal year 91 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: in the wake of the pandemic. I mean, and I 92 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: was one of those people who purchased a Peloton and 93 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: then also was like, WELLO I need to get them 94 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: the stock. You know, this is a good example of 95 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: why maybe you shouldn't buy individual stocks, or at least 96 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: not by individual stocks expecting an immediate return, because like 97 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: a lot of folks, you know, I purchased some Peloton 98 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: shares and if y'all have been watching, their stock has 99 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: been just, oh my god, getting annihilated lately. So just 100 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: a little you know, personal finance lesson here. When it 101 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: comes to investing in personal stocks, I do it based 102 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: on products that I love and companies that I believe in, 103 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: and I am a long term buy and whole kind 104 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: of gal. So even though in my opinion, Peloton if 105 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: not in my opinion, it's just happening, even though they've 106 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: been struggling lately. I'm not necessarily going to just dump 107 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: stocks of a company that I still believe in. I'm 108 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: in it for the long haul. And it really depends 109 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: on your investing strategy and how much of your how 110 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: much risk you think you can assume. I am definitely 111 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: not using the majority of my you know, my money 112 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: for retirement for individual stock trading. It's just not what 113 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: I do. I use a little bit of money on 114 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: the side, and I mostly invested, yeah, a couple of 115 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: individual stocks, but also my favorite etf SO exchange traded funds. 116 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: I'm kind of going on a tangent right now. I 117 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: will get back to Paul's question, but I just wanted 118 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: to first talk about Peloton and the fact that they 119 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: despite the crazy successful year that it seemed like they 120 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: were having in the wake of the pandemic, Hey, what 121 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: goes up will eventually come down, right, And they had 122 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: this massive reorg. They're laying off twenty eight hundred people. 123 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: Their CEO is out, and those you know workers are 124 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: going to be scrambling to find new employment, just like 125 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: our lovely listener Paula, who said, here's her question. My 126 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: organization just announced a reorg that will directly affect me. 127 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: What advice would you give me to make sure that 128 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: this change will benefit my career and myself financially? Thanks 129 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: in advance, Paula. So, a reorg, this happens a lot 130 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: at companies, whether it's through for example, they get acquired 131 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: by another company and you've got two companies trying to 132 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: marry one another, and they've got to like figure out, Okay, 133 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: we have one hundred customer service reps over here. Okay, 134 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: but we've got two hundred over here. Do we need 135 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: three hundred or should we consolidate? And you know, there's 136 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: the negative part of that, which is that often it 137 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: means that some jobs are going to be phased out. 138 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: But sometimes reorgs can be a lot simpler than that. 139 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: They can simply be Well, maybe it sounds like Paula 140 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: is going through where her company is deciding, Okay, the 141 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: current org structure, like who we have reporting to who, 142 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: and the different departments that we have aren't maybe working 143 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: for us right now? We need to shake things up. 144 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: Doesn't always mean that it's going to result in layoffs, 145 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: but it could result in title changes or like the 146 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: people that you're reporting to will be different, or even 147 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: people that are reporting to you may change, and it 148 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: can be a little stressful, especially if change is not 149 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: something that you're really excited about, but it is like 150 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: if you work somewhere long enough, chances are you will 151 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: go through something like a reorg. So Paula wants to know, 152 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: how do I make sure this actually benefits me career 153 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: wise and financially. So first and foremost, Paula, I think 154 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: having communication and communicating a lot with your managers is 155 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: going to be important here. Often though, when it comes 156 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: to reorgs, it depends on what level you're at at 157 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: your company. But your managers may not even have all 158 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: of the information, So have some patience for them and 159 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: listen really closely to what senior leadership is saying. Submit 160 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: questions if they're doing any town halls, and just be 161 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: the person who ask questions. You know, it be the 162 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: squeaky wheel, ask for specifics, you know, what will this mean? 163 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: Will there be potential for promotion? Will there'd be potential 164 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: for you know, people who are looking maybe you're looking 165 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: to pivot into a different department, and as the reorg 166 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: starts to take shape, as you start to understand what's 167 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: going to happen with your particular department, I would be 168 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: completely transparent with your managers, your higher ups, and tell 169 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: them where you see yourself best fitting into this new organization, 170 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: and be really cognizant of any opportunities that may crop 171 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: up for you. For example, you know, if you're I 172 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: don't know, you're a mid level right now, and you 173 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: see that in this new org they're creating more of 174 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: a senior manager position where you're seeing an opportunity where 175 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: they've got a hole that they need to fill and 176 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: you think you could fit in there. You know, I 177 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: wouldn't wait for your manager to tap you on the 178 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: shoulder and say, oh, Paula, yes, this is a perfect 179 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: role for you. We want to move you up and 180 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: over here. I would definitely advocate for yourself and keep 181 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: your eyes and ears open for those types of opportunities 182 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: and put your name the hat, make sure that they 183 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: know that you're interested, and remember times of volatility at companies. 184 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: This is really if you're someone who wants to stick 185 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: around at that company. This is where you can really 186 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: shine and make your personal brand, your professional brand even stronger, 187 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: because when there are times of like quote unquote crisis 188 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: or volatile times at a company, those employees who step 189 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: up and prove that they are going to roll with 190 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: the punches, that they're going to be reliable, that their 191 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: managers can count on them through those times of volatility, 192 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: those are the people who are going to get promoted. 193 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: Those are the people that you know, the managers are 194 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: going to want to see advance and progress and get 195 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: those year end bonuses. So I would definitely use this 196 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: as an opportunity. It reminds me of what happened for 197 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: me when I was managing a team of thirty staff 198 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: editors and writers at my company with the onset of 199 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: the pandemic, when I had to and I had a 200 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: newborn at home right those colleagues on my team and honestly, 201 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: everybody stepped up. But I've never been more proud. And 202 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: there were so many, you know, people on my team 203 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: through the year who were able to step up and 204 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: you know, get promotions because they really went to work 205 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: during that time and they made it possible for me 206 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: to run that team and transition everyone virtually. So I 207 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: like that you're seeing this as an opportunity to be strategic. 208 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: I think ultimately the best things you can do are 209 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: advocate for yourself, look for opportunities and say you want them. 210 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: But then also just be completely bad ass and become 211 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: the person that your managers can go to during times 212 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: like this when things are a little dicey, and rely 213 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: on them and step up and show that you are 214 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: a team player and all of that, because that, like 215 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: I said, is going to make them go the extra 216 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: mile for you down the line. Thank you so much 217 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: for your question, Paula, and good look. All right, I'm 218 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 1: going to take a quick breaking break, get some water 219 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: because it is kind of you know, it's hard work 220 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: talking about myself talking to myself all the time. Now, 221 00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: and we will be right back with more of your questions. 222 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: All right, ba faan, we are back.

Okay, So this person says, Hey, Mandy, 226 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: I just saw your TikTok about that Mercedes recruiter. I 227 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: have a question and I hope it's not too forward 228 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: or bold of me to ask I want to renegotiate 229 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: my pay. I feel like I'm underpaid as the only 230 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: billing specialist doing work for two emergency rooms. Any advice 231 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: on how I can go about that? Okay? So if 232 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: you guys haven't seen this yet, you've got to check out. 233 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: You can go to my ig. I'm at Mandy Money 234 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: on Insta and I'm at Mandy Money with three a's 235 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: on TikTok. And basically what happened was there was this recruiter. 236 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: Her name is Mercedes S. Johnson. I'll never forget her 237 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: name now. So she posted on LinkedIn a screenshot or 238 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: she posted on LinkedIn, and she was bragging about having 239 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: a job candidate except an offer for eighty five K. 240 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: And she decided to take time out of her day 241 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: to go on LinkedIn and make fun of this person 242 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: and say, you know, the budget was actually one hundred 243 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: and thirty five K. And I don't have time to 244 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: help people learn how to negotiate. I just want you 245 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: guys to know it's really important to know your value. 246 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: And I think I, like a lot of people, had 247 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 1: a visceral reaction to that post from Mercedes, because one 248 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: it was just dumb. Two it was not helpful at all. 249 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: I think she thought she was really doing something profound 250 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: with that post, trying to inspire people to know their 251 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: value and to negotiate. But I just don't see how 252 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: she can say she didn't have time to give advice 253 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: to that job candidate, but yet she did have time 254 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: to go on the internet and post about it. You know, 255 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: I just thought it was really especially for someone in 256 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: her position as a recruiter. You know, she's in a 257 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: place of power. And also you know she in her 258 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: public persona talks about herself being someone who helps people 259 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: negotiate and you know, fulfill their career ambitions. And I 260 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: just think it was Oh no, no, it was. It 261 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: was a bad look for miss Mercedes. But to this 262 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: questions point, it was a good reminder, and we'll just 263 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: try to find a silver lining here. It was a 264 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: good reminder of why it is so important for us 265 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: as job candidates. Advocating for ourselves in the workplace is 266 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: so important because even the people who think maybe there 267 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: to help you get what you deserve, ultimately we are 268 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: always going to have our best interest and we should 269 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: have our best interest at heart all of the time, 270 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: and we have to learn to step up for ourselves 271 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: and to do our own research to find out when 272 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: we are not being valued the way that we should 273 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: be valued. So in your situation, Anonymous, where you say 274 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: you actually want to renegotiate your pay, you feel like 275 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: you're being underpaid. It sounds like you're working in the 276 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: medical field, and honestly, listen, I've got family who work 277 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: in hospitals and it is grueling work and there is 278 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: so much turnover as a result of the pandemic that 279 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: there are people like you who are being left doing 280 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: more work than ever but not actually getting paid anything 281 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: to so renegotiating pay. Listen, I am the person who 282 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: will who will always push people to just ask the questions, 283 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: no matter how you know bold they may seem, ask 284 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: the question, you know, go to your manager and just say, 285 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: point blank, you know, I've I have been taking on 286 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: all this additional work. Is there any opportunity to discuss 287 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: my compensation and to get an increase. You can absolutely 288 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: do that. You don't have to wait for your annual 289 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: review cycle. Just go ahead and do it. I can't 290 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: promise you they're going to do something about it. I'm 291 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: not even gonna I don't even know what the odds 292 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: are that they may do something about it. Your best 293 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: bet is to get a competing offer from another job 294 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: that's actually going to pay you more, and then you 295 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: can actually bring that to your current employer and say, 296 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: you know, I've got an offer from XYZ and they're 297 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: offering me double what you're paying me, or fifty percent more, 298 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: whatever it is. You have to be ready, you should 299 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: be ready prepared to take that new offer and walk. 300 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: But that can be some that can be really good leverage, 301 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: especially if you're you know, you want to stay, but 302 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: you just want to be paid what you're worth. Sometimes companies, 303 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: you know, if you don't give them a reason, like 304 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: a really good reason to give you a pay raise, 305 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: they can like drag their feet. They just don't have 306 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: that incentive, you know, So the risk of you walking down, 307 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: like walking away from the job and leaving them in 308 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: the lurch. Sometimes you just got to like play hardball 309 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: in that way. You got to say, like, yo, I'm 310 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: ready to walk, I've got this juicy offer, what are 311 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: you going to do about it? And then you can 312 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: see how fast they move to get you that raise. Okay, 313 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: so that's my advice to you. You can ask the question, 314 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: and I would go ahead and ask that now, just 315 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: to establish the fact that they know, Okay, she's asked 316 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: for this, she's feeling overworked, and then they can actually 317 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: then you give them some time to figure out what 318 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: they're going to do, and then on your own going 319 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: out and you know, leveraging your network, telling everyone that 320 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: you're looking for a new opportunity, seeing what else is 321 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: out there, getting some interviews, you know, and find and 322 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: potentially even getting a different offer. Then you can bring 323 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: that additional lever to them and use that for your 324 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: negotiation process. All right, thank you very much for that question. Okay, 325 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: two juicy career ones. Let's go to a more personal 326 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: finance question. This is third and last question we're gonna take. 327 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: This comes from also from IG. We're gonna call her Cheryl. 328 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: Cheryl says, I'm single, no kids. I make one hundred 329 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: and thirty five thousand dollars a year. I've got about 330 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: sixty K and my four oh one K and about 331 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: ten K saved up for emergencies. But I have sixteen 332 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 1: thousand dollars left to pay on my car loan I'm 333 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: thinking about taking out that amount as a four to 334 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,199 Speaker 1: one K loan to pay off the car. Do you 335 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: think that's a good idea. I'm also looking to purchase 336 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: a townhouse in the future. The bank has preapproved me 337 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: for four hundred and ninety five K as of now. 338 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: Would that four oh one K loan hurt my approval 339 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: status in the future? Oh, okay, couple things. So you've 340 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: got sixty K and your four to one K, you've 341 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: got ten K saved for emergencies. That's amazing, sixteen K 342 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: left on your car loan. So car loan. I don't 343 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: have a crucial piece of information right here, which is 344 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: your interest rate on your car loan. But let's say 345 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 1: you've got you know, good, really good credit, and your 346 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: car loan rate is like what what's typical now, like 347 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: three to four percent? You're thinking about taking out sixteen 348 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: K from your four one K, sixteen K out of 349 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: a sixty K four one K. You know, that's a 350 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 1: pretty hefty chunk of change. It's a four to one 351 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: K loan, as you're saying, And so with four one 352 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: K loans, and just to be candid, I have taken 353 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: a loan out of my four to one K I 354 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: took out I think it was ten K out of 355 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: my four to one K three or four years ago 356 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: when we were doing something to the house and just 357 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: wanted a way to borrow money that wasn't going to 358 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: cost interest. The beauty of the four to one k 359 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,719 Speaker 1: loan is you are borrowing from yourself and you're going 360 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: to pay yourself back. And if they charge quote unquote 361 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: interest on that four one K loan, you're going to 362 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: pay yourself that interest right And then because it's through 363 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: your employer for one K, they will basically set up 364 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: pay check deductions as you for you to pay that back, 365 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: so you don't have to remember to pay a bill 366 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: on time or anything like that. The risk with the 367 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: four one k loan is that, let's say you were 368 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: to want to leave the company, or heaven forbid, you 369 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: were laid off or fired, you may owe the full 370 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: balance of that loan back really quickly, like in less 371 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: than a couple of months. So you have to weigh 372 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 1: that risk. The fact that you only have ten K 373 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: saved well, I don't mean to diminish the fact that 374 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: you've got ten k saved up. That's fantastic. I mean, 375 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: that's about ten percent of your annual income, so it's 376 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: not shabby at all, but it's ten K and you'd 377 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: be taking out a sixteen K loan from your four 378 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: one k. So you know, let's say something happens and 379 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: you are let go or you leave the company. You know, 380 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: how would you be able to repay one lump sum 381 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: for a loan out of your four one k That 382 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: could potentially be about sixteen K, So you have to 383 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: think about that. Typically, like, let's say your car loan is, 384 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: like I said, you've got a really good interest rate. 385 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: I'm not mad at you just continuing to pay that 386 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: that car note off. It may feel really good to 387 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: be entirely debt free, and like, I love to be 388 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: debt free too. I paid my car loan off early. 389 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: But what are your other goals right now? You say 390 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: you're saving up for a townhouse, so I would actually 391 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: prefer if you were to continue beefing up your emergency fund. 392 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: Ten K is pretty good for emergencies, but as a homeowner, 393 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: you know, you may actually have some household emergencies that 394 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: cost even more than that, or you may want to 395 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: do some work to the house, like moving expenses, are 396 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: like crazy when it comes to moving into a house. 397 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 1: I mean, those first year of home ownership expenses can 398 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: really add up. So I would say, instead of taking 399 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 1: money out of your four one K loan to pay 400 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: off your car note, especially like I don't know your 401 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: interest rates, so this is just, you know, an idea, 402 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: but I'm assuming it's great. Instead of taking money out 403 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: of your four one K to pay off that car note, 404 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,120 Speaker 1: I would just save up even more in that liquid cash, 405 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: saving these accounts that you're using now for emergencies and 406 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: just call it your your home emergency fund or your 407 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: home fund. It also prepares you. I don't know how 408 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 1: much you're looking to put down on your home in 409 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: the future, but having extra cash in the bank that 410 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: you can use as a down payment is never a 411 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: bad thing. So that is That's my story, and I'm 412 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: sticking to it for now. Your second question is the 413 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: bank has preapproved you for a loan, but you're wondering 414 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: would that four one K loan hurt your approval status 415 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: in the future. So I did a little bit of 416 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: research into this because I hadn't really thought about that 417 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: question before until you asked it, And all my research 418 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: shows that No, Typically banks do not use a four 419 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: to one K loan as part of the underwriting process 420 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: to determine like whether you're going to go approved or not. 421 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: So typically it would not hurt your odds of getting 422 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 1: approved for a loan, which could be comforting to you. 423 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: But still, because you're about to buy a house and 424 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: because you've only got that ten k saved, I would 425 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: definitely it, especially if you're like, you know, really sure 426 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: about buying this house and you want to do that 427 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: sooner rather than later. You know, get the house, pad 428 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: up that cash emergency fund because you never know but 429 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: probably don't need it based on my experience, and then 430 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: you know, put that, you know, and then once you 431 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: kind of feel settled in your new home and all 432 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: of that, then you can start making larger payments towards 433 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: your car loan and pay that down over time. So 434 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: that is my advice. I hope that was helpful. Again, 435 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: I am not a financial planner. I'm not your financial planner. 436 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: I'm not an investment advisor.
