Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm supposed to meet with my advisor tomorrow. We set the meeting time for 1. I wonder what time he'll actually show up. I'm betting on 1:45.

You know, if you had been able to make some money betting on your advisor...you might not need a job

Heh. Cash, you should've thrown a temper tantrum at him. Play it exactly like the worst one one of the kids has ever done. And then be all "...what, you can dish it but you can't take it??"

Math Question. HR gal at prospective job gave 3 dollar amounts. Starting salary, "Midpoint", and "25th percentile". Starting is the lowest, and, ironically, 25th percentile is about midway between starting and "midpoint". With that in mind, can I figure out the upper end of the salary for this position? If yes, is it an easy formula?
It sounds like pay raises are nominal, and with the CA budget crisis, I figure, best to ask for a ton up front, but not completely out of the range. Please tell me if this logic is bad logic!

Er...I don't see anything ironic about 25th% being between starting and midpoint (if "mid"point is 50%!).
That said, the only "concern" with starting at the upper end of the salary range would be if they actually had a set pay range and then you weren't allowed to get raises.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Technically no, but I don't think they're that sophisticated, so in practice probably yes. I'd guess from what you said that they're just looking at the salary range as a uniform distribution, which means that you can expect their top salary to be as far above the midpoint as the starting salary is below it. (And the 75th% to likewise mirror the 25th%.)
