Career

I am going to be starting a new job search soon. Besides salary, what others things might I be able to negotiate as part of my job offer?
I am not ready to retire, but I would like to transition into a position that brings more meaning to my life but less responsibility. How do I convince hiring managers that I am a good candidate?
I am in a very toxic work situation and am desperate to leave. I received a job offer, but it is $20K less than what I am making now. I can afford the pay cut and am considering not negotiating and just taking the job to get out of my current situation. What would you advise?
What books do you recommend for someone thinking about making a career transition?
What are your favorite career-related books?

Would it be helpful to print up different business cards about my interests or profession to hand out to people when I am networking? If so, what should they look like?

With all the layoffs happening in the tech industry, I am worried about not being prepared if it happens to me. How do I best prepare if I am laid off?
I am dealing with some personal issues that I am concerned may impact my work. I don't feel comfortable talking to HR. A co-worker told me about the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offered through our company. Is it really confidential, or will my employer find out I used the resource and why I used it?
A year ago, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I am not currently symptomatic other than occasional fatigue and numbness or tingling in my hands. It has not affected my work.
