We just had a good applicant with a 2yr old request a lead paint test, but we politely declined. Reason being is they’re considering 2 places and apparently the other home has offered to do a lead paint test and they wanted us to do one too. Thing is… one of us is going to be out of $500+ and no tenant. It’s simply not a risk worth taking when there’s plenty of other applicants that don’t require a lead test.

We’ve never had an applicant ask for a lead paint test in the 30 years of owning the place. 2 of our tenants have had young kids and they haven’t had an issue and the unit was recently renovated.

What’s your take on this type of situation? I suggested they cover the cost of the test, but they declined. Doesn’t make sense for me to pay for it imo.

I have a fully remote lead analyst role (private SaaS - 1b+ revenue portco ) that pays me 130k base + 10% bonus. All in comp is 143k. I could be getting a promo over the summer… but idk yet. Company has slightly declining revenue, so we aren’t hiring anyone in finance… which leads me to believe the opportunity for manager promo is not really likely although they may promote me to an IC manager title. Idk yet, but I was told I might be able to land a promo or some kind of off-cycle increase this summer since I took on more work.

If you got an offer for a smaller private company (200m revenue 60-65% YoY growth) for 165-170k base with no bonus, but they give you equity. Fully remote as well.

New role will likely be significantly more work. Current role is fairly chill. I work maybe 2-3 hours a day, more during close weeks.

Is an extra 20-30k worth the hop or should I stay where I’m at.
