<v Speaker 3>Hey man, I'm doing just fine.

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 4>It's a little chilly this in between weathers for the birds.

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.559
<v Speaker 4>like chili in the early evening, and you know, like

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 4>super cold and it.

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 2>I just don't know what to do. My body is

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:40.880
<v Speaker 2>going up downside to side.

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.559
<v Speaker 3>My trunk is just littered with like sweaters and hats

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:48.840
<v Speaker 3>and coats that get shed. But it's a beautiful day

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 3>and I'm happy to be here with you. Your birthday

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 3>party was air thing.

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean, first of all, I love that like that husband,

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 4>I was like, not him coming outside.

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 3>I know, there were several times that day I thought

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 3>he wasn't gonna come acause he was annoying me.

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Like had it What did he say? Because I'm like, I.

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:08.520
<v Speaker 3>Asked him, I was like, what was it like being

0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 3>being out? And he said that he thinks he's forgotten

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.039
<v Speaker 3>how to be social, and.

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Because he seems social, you know, like no, he was

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 2>he is.

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, I think he has some social anxiety just

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.479
<v Speaker 3>like I do. But it was very hard, I think,

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 3>to be uncomfortable in your space with the kind of

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 3>people that you had around, because just all felt like family,

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:31.759
<v Speaker 3>you know, yeah, like maybe you don't know everybody's name,

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:33.600
<v Speaker 3>but your all family. I got the cookout, you know

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 3>what I mean? Yeah, Oh my god, the food.

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:42.320
<v Speaker 4>Nichia girl, when I tell you and eat s h a, okay, yeah,

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna lie. People were eating things they don't even

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 4>people are like, I don't even eat rab meat. And

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 4>they was tearing down the ox, the oxtails.

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't even know if I've had an oxtail in

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 3>the last decade. And I was like, Nicha made it.

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying it.

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 4>I mean it was her and her sister naw just

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 4>cook from such a place of love.

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and they just become like family. But she made oxtail.

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 4>She made turkey chops with I never had a turkey

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 4>chops until I've heard of pork chop.

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 2>I didn't. I'm like, what's the turkey chop? Delicious is

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 2>what it is?

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 4>Honeyglaze, salmon, jerk chicken. And then it was like rostapasta

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 4>like it was an herb in something mashed potatoes per urban,

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:24.080
<v Speaker 4>but I don't even know it.

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 3>Was mashed potatoes. The greens though, for me, it's always

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 3>about the greens. Yes, the greens and the corn bread.

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh that corn bread literally me and you said it best.

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 4>You were like, yo, the food is like the Thriller

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 4>Like I think it was either you so somebody said

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 4>it was like the Thriller album.

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 2>No skips, Yes, really need that.

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:44.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.359
<v Speaker 3>I kept looking for something that I didn't want to

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 3>eat or that looked like it maybe be a little like,

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, like a throwaway for the vegans or something.

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Nope, but the corn bread was vegan and it was

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 2>as skips. It was yesips.

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.919
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, this was probably one of my best birthdays ever

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 4>from being honest, because I am learning that if you

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 4>want something doesn't magically fall from the sky. Because some

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:07.760
<v Speaker 4>birthdays I'd be like, you know, I don't want any

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 4>do anything, and then nothing happens, and then I'm sad.

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, well girl, you plan for nothing and nothing happened.

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 4>This time, I said, no, how do you want your

0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:16.639
<v Speaker 4>birthday to go? I'm like, I love Upstate New York.

0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 4>I go every year around this time because the foliage is.

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 2>In full fall bloom.

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.519
<v Speaker 4>I did that for the weekend and then for my

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 4>birthday on my actual birthday, and my sisters and I

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 4>went to dinner, which was so great. And then I

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 4>really wanted family and friends to come to the condo

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 4>for the condo warming and plus birthday. I wanted good, delicious,

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 4>niche of food, but I wanted a house full of love.

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 4>And that's what I got. Just the most amazing people

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.680
<v Speaker 4>in my life. And just to see people who I

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 4>knew didn't know each other talk.

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean I don't. I'm always really mindful.

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:48.640
<v Speaker 4>Well, everybody in mind is just awesome because I have

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 4>curated all the nastiness out.

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>If you're listening and.

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:59.040

<v Speaker 2>And you know, even my my my boyfriend was there.

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 4>Experiencing his own social anxieties. I was like, girl, please,

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 4>everybody was great.

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 3>I loved his fit. I was like that quilted bomber

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 3>jacket and the lavender top, Like I was just like, Okay,

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 3>I love this post gender conforming fashion.

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 4>But it was just really great and I just loved

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 4>have everybody there and plus like the place just came

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 4>together so wonderfully.

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it really did stunning to your interior designer, uh

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 3>Rihanna of Rehome Remain Remain Home. Oh my God, and

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.520
<v Speaker 3>her husband. I know she did like so much of

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:55.719
<v Speaker 3>it though, but ps the resistance, I mean was the deck,

0:04:55.839 --> 0:05:01.840
<v Speaker 3>core baby, the quality the furniture. I died a little

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 3>bit when Terrell walked in with that plate of food

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.720
<v Speaker 3>into your living room and I was like rive out,

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 3>Like I.

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 4>Mean, even though you know, I made sure I scotch

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 4>God damn, but you know, and I think.

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.120
<v Speaker 3>That's why we were all slipping and busting almost busting her.

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 3>But I think you scotched guarden a little too close

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 3>to the sun.

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 2>I think I did because I was a slip and

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 2>slide and that. But yeah, I was thinking. I was like,

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I think I cleaned the Floyds a little bit too good.

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.160
<v Speaker 3>Just have a little basket of grippy socks if you

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:30.720
<v Speaker 3>don't want a lawsuit. It's all like that, you know

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 3>what I mean? I get your homeowner's insurance. It was great,

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:35.280
<v Speaker 3>it was.

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 2>I know you guys have questions. I think our last question.

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, we're here for that.

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so we're gonna take your Carrea questions question.

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:48.720
<v Speaker 2>I can you want to be the first one? You

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.720
<v Speaker 2>want me to be the first one? Oh? You go

0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:52.040
<v Speaker 2>for it? All right?

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 3>Got it from a jazzman Janz Jazz.

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 2>It starts off with hey, hey, love that for her.

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 4>I have a question for a future Baqa, which is now,

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.039
<v Speaker 4>please don't use my name, call me Jasmine.

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>We love when you give us a fake name.

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.159
<v Speaker 4>I work in healthcare communications and it's something I fell into.

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 4>I've been job hunting for a while and getting a

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 4>few interviews, but never the final offer. All these jobs

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 4>have much higher salaries that I currently make. Recently, we

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 4>had a quarterly update where our top boss said, we

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 4>know money matters, but we're working really hard to improve

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 4>the environment because you stay for people, not money. Spoken

0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 4>like someone who is untouched by inflation?

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Am I right? Girl?

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.160
<v Speaker 3>Is he crazy?

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Anyway? Oh? She says, anyway.

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.719
<v Speaker 4>My question is how do I bring up to my

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.679
<v Speaker 4>direct manager that money is actually why I say okay,

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 4>And is it possible to leverage interviews into a salary

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:55.160
<v Speaker 4>increase when it's clear that that's not a retention priority

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 4>of the org. I'm open and eager to leave, so

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.359
<v Speaker 4>that's definitely an option. But with no office at the moment,

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.600
<v Speaker 4>I want to do what I can where I am

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 4>for now. Thanks for your help, and I hope you

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.360
<v Speaker 4>have a very happy holiday season.

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Gas Man. I see you put your real name here,

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 2>but gas is your name? That made sense? Of course

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 2>it does. And anyway, yeah, so yeah, so much love

0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:16.679
<v Speaker 2>to y'all.

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, so it's the holiday season.

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 4>First of all, I just real quick, and I'm gonna

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 4>you take it, Mandy, because this is the domain.

0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Let me read that box for a moment. Is you crazy?

0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 4>I mean, what are we talking about? Not in Harriet

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 4>Tubman's Internet. Are we talking about people working for free?

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 4>It's giving slavery.

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I don't know about for free.

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I know, I'm just saying, I'm just this is yeah.

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.560
<v Speaker 3>This is when the HR girls in the back are like, god, damn,

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.120
<v Speaker 3>ben All it is just another ten Another time it's

0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 3>like I saying the wrong thing, out of touch with

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 3>the people.

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.559
<v Speaker 2>We stay for the people. It's like, people have bills

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 2>to pay? Are you crazy? So I just want to

0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 2>be them? And then the so, mandra, what do give

0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 2>jazz jazz?

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 3>So my first bit of advice is, don't let this

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 3>offhand remark that was made where your top boss says,

0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, this completely like out of touch thing. Don't

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 3>let it dissuade you from the facts of the matter,

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 3>which is that obviously you're there for money, and so

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 3>is your that boss whoever said that. So what I

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 3>would do is, Oh, the point I wanted to make

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 3>with interviewing is that you don't even necessarily need a

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 3>hard and fast job offer to use it as a

0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 3>leverage for higher pay. Where you're at the fact that

0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 3>you have been interviewing, and that you have been interviewing

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:37.960
<v Speaker 3>and seen a string of opportunities that you're qualified for,

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 3>and that you've been interviewing for that pay you significant

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 3>that would pay you significantly more. That in and of

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 3>itself is a piece of data that you can bring

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 3>to your manager and say, hey, I you know, I

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:54.439
<v Speaker 3>would like to discuss my compensation. I've done my own

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 3>market research through just you know, publicly available data that

0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 3>you can get online. But also I've been getting approached

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.480
<v Speaker 3>candidly by recruiters from other firms that are and I'm

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 3>happy to share with you some of those job descriptions,

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:14.240
<v Speaker 3>but very similar positions and pay on average twenty five

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 3>percent more or whatever the number is than what I'm making.

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:21.560
<v Speaker 3>Can we talk about getting my salary in line with

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 3>the market value that it currently is? And I am

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 3>sorry to this big boss of yours who said something

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 3>so stupid, but retention salary like market value of someone

0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 3>of an employee and paying you properly according to the

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 3>market value that is of the most powerful retention factor

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 3>out there. And you one would hope that you could

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 3>work with colleagues who are like respectful and not assholes,

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:49.200
<v Speaker 3>and that is nice for a company culture, but it's not.

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.200
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of it should be not. It shouldn't be

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 3>something that you like. It shouldn't be so rare that

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 3>you're bragging about it, like, well here everyone is great

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 3>and blah blah blah bah blah. Well that's just how

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.360
<v Speaker 3>it should be. But what we can't take for granted

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.080
<v Speaker 3>is like, are you paying me my value? So I

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 3>would keep interviewing for sure, and especially since we're heading

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 3>into right now it's late October when we're recording this

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 3>and heading into the end of the year season, I

0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.559
<v Speaker 3>would put your case together for here is what I've

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.480
<v Speaker 3>been hearing, Here's what my market value is today. What

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:27.319
<v Speaker 3>do we what can we do to get my compensation

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.320
<v Speaker 3>to be more in line with what the marketplace is

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 3>telling me that I'm worth. And just make it about

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.000
<v Speaker 3>the facts. And you don't need to bring up that

0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 3>conversation about your you know, your boss and what they said,

0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 3>And you don't need to say I'm here for the money.

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.960
<v Speaker 3>You just need to say the facts of I'm worth

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 3>more money, so then pay it to me.

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:48.800
<v Speaker 2>The end.

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 4>That was good advice, But that was hilarious what no

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.520
<v Speaker 4>I said? That was hilarious about the boss. Oh yeah,

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, people need money or whatever.

0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:58.640
<v Speaker 2>And what I'm having is a.

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:03.560
<v Speaker 3>Bad girl but Kumbaya and a pizza lunch. Yes, no,

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 3>save it, save it, save it, save it. All right,

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.400
<v Speaker 3>We're going to take a quick break and come back

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 3>with another question from my favorite pseudonym ever, corporate Kisha.

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 2>All right, ba fan, we are back.

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 3>So we got a DM from corporate Kisha. I love

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 3>this pseudonym. It's one of my favorite alias says we've

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.760
<v Speaker 3>ever had. Corpora Kisha says, I have been a longtime

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.160
<v Speaker 3>listener of your podcast, and I've gained so much insight.

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm reaching out because I'm currently in corporate law in

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.960
<v Speaker 3>a low cost of living southern state, but I'm considering

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.360
<v Speaker 3>moving to New York City. I'd love your thoughts on

0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:42.439
<v Speaker 3>how to approach negotiating a salary increase and relocation package

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.600
<v Speaker 3>with my employer to make this transition smooth. I currently

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.199
<v Speaker 3>earn one hundred and thirty five thousand dollars per year.

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:53.440
<v Speaker 3>I save and invest actively with thirty five thousand in

0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 3>emergency savings. I contribute fourteen hundred a month to my

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 3>four oh one K and five hundred to a broken account. Yes,

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 3>ten out of ten.

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:02.720
<v Speaker 2>No notes.

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 3>Given the higher cost of living in taxes in New

0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 3>York City, I'm seeking advice on a reasonable salary adjustment

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 3>to maintain my current savings and investments, as well as

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 3>guidance on what to expect from a relocation package. Thank

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.959
<v Speaker 3>you for all you do. Looking forward to your advice.

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:22.200
<v Speaker 3>All right, so let me get something. You're considering a

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 3>move to New York City. Is it just for fundsies

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.160
<v Speaker 3>or is your company moving you to New York City?

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:34.080
<v Speaker 3>Because that's where it can get challenging in a big way,

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 3>because if you're moving because like you just want to,

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:43.680
<v Speaker 3>you can definitely push for a relocation and compensation adjustment.

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 3>You can ask for it. But if it's not the

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.840
<v Speaker 3>company itself telling you that you need to be moving

0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.360
<v Speaker 3>to the new city, the likelihood that they'll give it

0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.960
<v Speaker 3>to you is a lot less, Like I hate to

0:12:55.960 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 3>bring that to you. And New York City is incredibly expensive.

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 3>Why do you want to come here?

0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 4>Do you think that she should just interview for brand

0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 4>new jobs in general in New York with like the

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.640
<v Speaker 4>New York City budget to pay her that? Could?

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 2>You know?

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.560
<v Speaker 3>That could definitely work. I mean, she doesn't say, she

0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.320
<v Speaker 3>says corporate law, like, there's a good chance that they

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 3>have an office in New York and it could be

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 3>that she just wants to move to their New York office,

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 3>you know. And if that's the case, then I think

0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.199
<v Speaker 3>she has a better likelihood of getting a relocation package.

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 3>And as far as like what to expect out of it,

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 3>it could be that they pay your just the moving expenses.

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 3>It can cost thousands of dollars to move cross country

0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 3>and technically south to New York City is kind of

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.640
<v Speaker 3>like cross country even though it's up and down whatever

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:47.679
<v Speaker 3>geography what. But you might get that relocation package. They

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.240
<v Speaker 3>may help you find an apartment, so they may give

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.959
<v Speaker 3>you access to like a realtor or a yeah, I

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 3>guess you're still called the realtor if it's even a renter.

0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.840
<v Speaker 3>You're helping renters find a place, but hook you up

0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 3>with someone a broker maybe who can help you find

0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:08.560
<v Speaker 3>your first apartment. Moving expenses, but the compensation package, you

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 3>would for sure want to do some you know, do

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.080
<v Speaker 3>some research into your company itself and like see if

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 3>they mention anything on their website about cost of living

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 3>adjustments for relocation benefits. That's typically like something that if

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 3>it's an established firm, which it sounds like you work for,

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.080
<v Speaker 3>like the HR team's probably going to have like a

0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 3>structured plan for how we determine like or do cost

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:35.360
<v Speaker 3>of living adjustments. And they may say, okay, based on

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 3>this new office and cost of living, here's the expected

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 3>salary increase and here's where when it would go into effect.

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 3>But as far as like being able to negotiate on

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 3>top of that, that gets a lot trickier. So it

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:49.360
<v Speaker 3>may not be that you can save exactly as much

0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 3>as you're saving, you know, however much they decide to

0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 3>give you a month, like they decide what you know,

0:14:56.920 --> 0:15:00.280
<v Speaker 3>they'll look at probably the Department of Labor and and

0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 3>like other sources to find out what the standard costs

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 3>of living are where you are, but to to guarantee

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 3>you'll have enough room in your budget for this generous

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 3>savings you know, strategy that you have and investing strategy

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:19.480
<v Speaker 3>that you have. They're not gonna necessarily think about that

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.160
<v Speaker 3>or guarantee it, so that that's going to be up

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 3>to you to figure out. Okay, do that makes sense?

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 2>It does?

0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:30.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean I think I was just word vomiting.

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:32.400
<v Speaker 2>No, And I don't know.

0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.240
<v Speaker 4>If you've been to New York before, you might want

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:38.320
<v Speaker 4>to spend a little extra time before making the move move.

0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean, like I also moved up here, but I

0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 3>didn't move with a job. I mean I did move

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 3>with the job that I did have a salary when

0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.400
<v Speaker 3>I moved up here, but I didn't like relocate within

0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:55.040
<v Speaker 3>the same company. Hmm. But the outer boroughs are where

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 3>it's at if you would like to save money, but

0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:02.440
<v Speaker 3>then you have to factor in like your transportation. Yeah,

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 3>there's all sorts of things, but I would never like,

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:06.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm not at all going to be one of those

0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 3>people who's like New York City has closed, you can't

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 3>come here, Like, no, come on.

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 2>Girl for Atlanta. Atlanta is like I'm tied god. Yeah.

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 2>And also two they're I mean there are you know,

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 2>people be.

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.160
<v Speaker 4>Talking back about Jersey, but I live here and I'm Winny.

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, no matter where you go, it's you know,

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.400
<v Speaker 4>there you are basically, so you know, I just want

0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.760
<v Speaker 4>you to go with like all like the what is

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:29.400
<v Speaker 4>it going to cost?

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:30.280
<v Speaker 2>What does actually look like?

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 4>And then also adjusting expectations there are you know, there's

0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:35.480
<v Speaker 4>a difference like I don't know, if you live at

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 4>a home now you're likely to be living in an apartment,

0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:39.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, is it a walk up? It's different like

0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 4>moving from the house of the condo. There's definitely some

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 4>things I'm like, wait, so how do I do groceries

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 4>because I parked here, but the interest is here, so

0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:48.280
<v Speaker 4>I had to buy one of them little carts you know.

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh I know.

0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.480
<v Speaker 4>I was like, I'm a cart lady, which is actually

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:53.600
<v Speaker 4>kind of fun because I'm twelve.

0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 2>But then you know, before you know, you take it

0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.720
<v Speaker 2>to groceries and you're like, oh, two three trips? Anybody

0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:03.640
<v Speaker 2>got time for that? We all going together.

0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.520
<v Speaker 4>So there's just the adjustments. And then also too, like

0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 4>I said, if you live in a house, I mean, thankfully,

0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.280
<v Speaker 4>my neighbors are pretty quiet, but then you know there's

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, especially New York. I'm not gonna lie. When

0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.920
<v Speaker 4>I visit my friends, I'm like, so all night long,

0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 4>oh every day, can SI getta?

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Well?

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Listen, my neighbor plays very loud Philippino, So I guess

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:30.800
<v Speaker 3>that's what's the tug along anyway? Yeah, not tag along,

0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:33.080
<v Speaker 3>tag along, but it always looks like that. I know.

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:37.120
<v Speaker 3>I read it the same way Christian gospel music, which

0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.480
<v Speaker 3>is a very specific flavor of music, and they sang

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:44.840
<v Speaker 3>very loud. And I have a house, so.

0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Wow, So yeah, there's always you know this. You take

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:50.119
<v Speaker 2>the good, you take it back, you take both of

0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.400
<v Speaker 2>you have the facts of life? Are you too young

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:54.120
<v Speaker 2>for Facts of Life?

0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:59.440
<v Speaker 4>On the show, you're too young for that, right, huh?

0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:01.479
<v Speaker 3>Anyway, if you as that was the one that regime

0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 3>was on, and then she went to living single.

0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Uh, oh yeah, oh look at you. Yes, her name

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:12.880
<v Speaker 2>was Yes, she was like a little girl too d. Yeah.

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:16.359
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, I can give you it'sic we connected to

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 3>living single like then I will find a way.

0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.320
<v Speaker 4>She was very young, like sixteen seventeen, you know, she

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 4>played two D and then Yes, I mean that wasn't

0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:24.600
<v Speaker 4>the transition.

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:26.600
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't like bye, now you're living single. No, it

0:18:26.680 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 2>was just she played on both.

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:32.360
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, that song, the lyrics, it's just you take

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 4>the good, you take the bad, you take them both,

0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:36.200
<v Speaker 4>and then you have the facts of life.

0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.320
