Bloomberg reports that Canadian CEOs are urging Trudeau to take rejected U.S. Tech Workers:
“…dozens of Canada’s tech chief executive officers including Shopify Inc.’s Tobi Lutke, an immigrant from Germany, and Hootsuite Media Inc.’s Ryan Holmes signed a letter asking Canada to offer immediate entry visas to those hit by the order.”
Trump’s actions are already helping the USA lose its status as a magnet for the world’s talent.
Charles Aris interviewed 3500 consultants and recently released their 2017 Strategy Consulting Compensation Study.
Here are a few notes of interest:
After two years in as a Management Consultant, a Class of 2014 MBA grad averaged $215,708 in total compensation. According to the 2014 census data, this puts them in the top 5% of household income in the United States.
The Bad: On average, raises significantly dropped from 18% to 11% in 2016. Although it was another year of record setting earnings, some firms experienced a slow down.
The Good: For Management Consultants transitioning into corporate roles, they can look forward to a comparable base salary and even higher total compensation. With that said, the finding should be treated as directional, since it is only based on anecdotal data.
Below you will find 2016 corporate offer ranges*, at the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles, for each MBA graduation year:
On January 26, 2017, Facebook announced support for U2F Security Keys:
Starting today, you can register a physical security key to your account so that the next time you log in after enabling login approvals, you’ll simply tap a small hardware device that goes in the USB drive of your computer. Security keys can be purchased through companies like Yubico, and the keys support the open Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) standard hosted by the FIDO Alliance.
Two-factor authentication can protect you against phishing scams, but U2F Security Keys hardens this protection.
CBS’ local affiliate, KPIX, reports that:
Officials are looking for money that flows through Sacramento to the federal government that could be used to offset the potential loss of billions of dollars’ worth of federal funds if President Trump makes good on his threat to punish cities and states that don’t cooperate with federal agents’ requests to turn over undocumented immigrants, a senior government source in Sacramento said.
California is among a handful of so-called “donor states,” which pay more in taxes to the federal Treasury than they receive in government funding.
