This may make Davi Belfort QB2 for the bowl game.
Add Jaylin Lane to the list. He declared for draft today.
Absolutely fair!
Big consulting companies also have a lot of contracts that people could move between or offer more advancement opportunities compared to smaller companies with fewer contracts, especially when the contracts are bid at certain rates for about 5 years that locks you in. And having to re-hire for a certain position a number of times can be more of an administrative burden to small companies as well.
I wonder if companies ever look internally to figure out if the reason they're having to re-hire people is because they have a toxic environment? I heard of that happening once, where a manager kept complaining about the people they were getting, and after about the third one, the company realized the manager was the problem and let them go.
So sad.
Wishing you well, Gabe, and the whole Williams family.
Yea, wife and I both work in tech. As an IC, You can go in, turn things around relatively quickly, then bounce. When you can tie your work directly to revenue or cost savings, you can demand what you're worth.
That $50m number is being poorly reported. Like, it has to be over multiple years, and includes house money, or something like that. That's about 2.5x what Oregon is allegedly spending on this roster.
H2Okies!
I remember as a freshman in 03 being excited when the defense took the field because it felt like we had a better chance of scoring than the offense.
Unsure he'd want to come ack to VT
That sucks she had two toxic environments she had to leave. It seems wild she could get two big raises like that in such a short time.
I've seen it from the hiring side as a federal contractor. I have a friend who jumped contracts every year for 3 or 4 years in a row (edit: for raises every time). There are a couple challenges if you're going to hire someone like that. Well, the main one being that there isn't any indication that the person would stay. That means that you have to hire a new person, so you spend a bunch of people's time looking through resumes, conducting interviews, onboarding, etc. from the business side, it means you may leave billable hours on the table trying to find a qualified candidate, so your company is losing some business. If everyone did that, that's a lot of lost revenue your company likely can't recover because of federal contracting/appropriation law. And that type of thing hurts more if it's a small company as well.
Edit: and in the world of federal contracting, a company can be hamstrung on matching a salary someone comes to you with that they were offered, by what the current contract's billable rates are.

Exactly everyone's circumstance is different just throwing away resumes for that reason is silly.
Egbert was a chemist. But Egbert is no more.
What Egbert thought was H2O was H2SO4.
My gosh, how terrible
goddammit life can be such bullshit sometimes
My wife did 4 companies in 5 years. Two moves away from toxic environments, two moves for big raises (30%+). One was also a pivot into a new field.
But then she stayed at the fourth job for 2.5 years, and pay/benefits at the job she recently got are so stellar I think she's stuck there for a while.
One of the best.

Gabe's father has passed away :(
I get something like a person wants a raise so finds a new job, then winds up working for an asshole, so moves again, or something like that where there might be a couple in a short time, but 4 or 5 changes in as many years? Can you think of a GOOD reason someone would hop around that much?
Can they 1. Identify talent, and 2. Recruit that talent and 3. Develop the talent.
and 4. Pay the talent.
At the end of the day, there are lots of teams doing all those same things. Belichick has celebrity, but will he really be better at everything than everyone else at the collegiate level?
I miss Beamerball.
Which would be a good business decision by him.
Man I hate that sentence about college football.
In college football, anything is possible.
More money than you can shake a stick at, with few enforceable rules.
Clemson got a portal commit before the Hokies. Dabo never uses the portal but after a rash of decommits he was forced in.
