weekend roundup, odd sign edition

Started by Steve @ bripblap · 10 months ago

Steve, I think you got paid once when you went for an interview. They paid for your commute and gave you a check, can't remember for what. Wish there were more companies like that. The point is, companies think that you need them more than they need you.

Re: Seth's Blog - niche interest is my apparent aim. I try to chime in with the Gen-Y, as well as work/life mix crowd every so often, but I must stick with my niche. It's best for my practice, and more true to my mission statement - though it doesn't quite draw crowds.

@Bubelah: I did, you're right - but this service is paying serious big money. I think the one I went for was a trivial amount (but you're right, I completely forgot which company/how much/etc.)

@t h rive: Your strategy isn't bad although I think you don't always make it explicit enough that that's your aim - and unfortunately Gen Y is still pretty unfocused on long term financial goals (just as Gen X took forever and the Boomers never got it! But as Gen Yers get more focused on finances you'll be in a good position to capitalize on it - you're a lot more focused on topic than I am.
