Its profits for the same period hit $1.85m.Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase will be among the bookrunners for the offering.The number of shares to be offered and the price range for the offering have not been finalised, according to a statement the company filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).A portion of the shares will be issued and sold by the company, while a separate portion will be sold by certain stockholders of LinkedIn, the filing said.

Yet, candidates seeking the ‘bargaining chip’ of an offer from elsewhere are playing a risky game, says Pentasia managing director Alastair Cleland.Losing staff is a huge cost for any organisation to bear. Staff departures are generally judged to cost businesses twice that employees annual salary, all considered.Comparatively, a conciliatory pay rise to maintain the status quo presents exceptional value for money.In igaming’s most talent-short specialist areas, the cost of lost staff is often even more significant and many businesses are fighting harder than ever to retain key staff.Counter offers are increasingly prevalent in the highest demand talent areas: casino and gaming product specialists; experienced legal and compliance practitioners, and following Malta Gaming Authority’s regulatory changes; tech specialists, C++, Java, Python and other back-end particularly; and those with international business connections.At Pentasia we now expect around 50% of all candidates to be counter-offered, and an even higher percentage of the most specialist and senior talent.Yet, counter-offers usually only provide a temporary fix. Candidates who accept counter-offers generally return to the job market within the year, for the very same reasons they initially sought to leave: new challenge, growth opportunity, lifestyle change.Money still talks when the offer is substantial, of course. In the past year we’ve regularly encountered counter offers up to +30% salary and even higher, plus offers including equity and additional benefits.On the whole, though, it’s only employers who are prepared to substantially improve the job itself – rather than the salary – whose counter offers succeed long term.Risks of playing the game Candidates, aware of the ‘bargaining chip’ value of an offer from elsewhere, can see counter-offers as a fast-track to salary increases. In recent months we’ve seen how this can be a risky game for individuals, often with serious drawbacks that can outweigh the potential win.First, hiring employers are increasingly cautious of applicants’ motives, and wary of those not wholly committed to moving. Those judged to be playing games will receive no offer and instead waste both their time and, in the longer term, their reputation.Second, current employers are increasingly wise to counter offer tactics. A larger company’s response can be measured, with counter offers coming in under the competing employer’s package and, crucially, HR noting the disloyalty. Even in candidate-short markets, power rests with the big players.Ultimately, it’s ambition on the candidate side and opportunity on the client side which creates a strong employer-employee relationship. This match – rather than short-term salary increases – is where we recommend all employment negotiations to be focused for the best outcome all-round.Key trends • In 2018, reasons for leaving have generally centred on either: career growth; or lifestyle benefits like flexible hours or remote working. Employers who can provide both are far less susceptible to staff departures. • Big-name employers, particularly in tight markets like Malta, know that newer rivals will outbid them for talent. They rarely match these inflated offers though, aware of their value to staff in terms of additional employment benefits and long-term opportunity. • Start-ups and smaller competitors find most success using job titles and responsibility to attract talent away from the big players. Titles like “director of…” and team leadership, combined with a healthy salary boost, are often difficult for large employers to match due to internal structures. • Emotional attachment – far more than money motive – is the primary reason that candidates accept counter offers (or lack of willingness to leave in the first instance.) The power of loyalty, staff engagement and team unity cannot be underestimated. • Genuinely active candidates, looking to move on from a successful company and role, regularly receive at least four of five offers of employment. Hirers should therefore consider not only the counter-offer, but also offers from competing employers, when considering their bid.

It’s too soon to say that a new bull market has started. The Covid-19 crisis rolls on and vaccine rollout problems, along with the emergence of new virus strains, could well put paid to an economic recovery. Consequently, there’s a big danger that UK share prices could turn southwards yet again.That said, I have my eye on several British stocks I think could soar in value during the economic upturn. Here are a couple on my Stocks and Shares ISA radar today.5G is here – and shares of this ‘sleeping giant’ could be a great way for you to potentially profit!According to one leading industry firm, the 5G boom could create a global industry worth US$12.3 TRILLION out of thin air…And if you click here we’ll show you something that could be key to unlocking 5G’s full potential…Catalytic colossusI’m tipping platinum group metal (or PGM) producer Tharisa’s (LSE: THS) profits to rise strongly as the economic recovery takes hold. Consumer spending should rise across the board when conditions improve. Spending on cars in particular tends to rocket during the early stages of the economic cycle. This naturally bodes well for PGM-packed autocatalyst demand.Prices of Tharisa’s product might not just increase because of recovering industrial demand, however. Rising concerns over soaring inflation during the economic recovery could also push uptake of hard currencies like precious metals.There’s also the possibility that the US Federal Reserve will keep stimulus measures rolling and interest rates locked around record lows. This would have a negative impact on the US dollar. And in turn this would make it more cost effective to buy dollar-denominated commodities like the PGMs. Incidentally, the greenback just struck a three-week low against a basket of other major currencies.All that said, there’s a major threat to UK platinum-producing shares like Tharisa. Electric vehicle sales are soaring all over the globe and are predicted to keep rising. This threatens to put a dent in autocatalyst production in future years, an industry which accounts for around 40% of total platinum demand.City analysts think Tharisa’s earnings will rise 98% in 2021 though. As a result the mining giant trades on a low forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 5 times. Like all forecasts, this estimate could change based on future developments. So I have to bear this in mind.A top UK tech shareA bumpy economic recovery would have huge ramifications for business investment. And this could have a significant impact on providers of IT services. That said, I don’t think demand for Kape Technologies (LSE: KAPE) services will suffer in the short-to-medium term.This is because this UK share is an expert in the field of cybersecurity, an area on which companies are obliged to spend increasing amounts. The rate of online crime is rising so rapidly, in fact, that the US Labour of Bureau Statistics reckons employment of information security analysts will balloon 31% between 2019 and 2029. This, unsurprisingly, makes it one of the fastest-growing industries in the States.It’s not all perfect, of course. City brokers reckon Kape’s annual earnings will fall fractionally in 2021. This leaves the business trading on forward P/E multiple of 21 times. That’s not the highest valuation among UK tech shares. But it’s a lofty-ish reading and therefore is a risk. It means that I could see a share price correction if trading at the company deteriorates. Click here to claim your copy now — and we’ll tell you the name of this Top US Share… free of charge!

His legacy will live eternally.At 33, he was pressing the case of civil rights with President John Kennedy. At 34, he galvanized the nation with his “I Have a Dream” speech. At 35, he won the Nobel Peace Prize.Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speaking. (Photo by Julian Wasser//Time Life Pictures/Getty Images).At 39, he was assassinated, but he left a legacy of hope that continues today.Any number of historic moments in the civil rights struggle have been used to identify Martin Luther King, Jr. — prime mover of the Montgomery bus boycott, keynote speaker at the March on Washington, youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate. But in retrospect, single events are less important than the fact that King, and his policy of nonviolent protest, was the dominant force in the civil-rights movement during its decade of greatest achievement, from 1957 to 1968.King was born Michael Luther King in Atlanta on Jan. 15, 1929 — one of the three children of Martin Luther King Sr., pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, and Alberta (Williams) King, a former schoolteacher. (He was renamed “Martin” when he was about 6 years old.)A national hero and a civil-rights figure of growing importance, King summoned together a number of black leaders in 1957 and laid the groundwork for the organization now known as the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). King was elected its president, and he soon began helping other communities organize their own protests against discrimination.Police used dogs to quell civil unrest in Birmingham, Ala., on May 3, 1963. Birmingham’s police commissioner “Bull” Connor also allowed fire hoses to be turned on young civil rights demonstrators. These measures set off a backlash of sentiment that rejuvenated the flagging civil rights movement. (Bill Hudson / The Associated Press)Three years later, King’s nonviolent tactics were put to their most severe test in Birmingham, during a mass protest for fair hiring practices and the desegregation of department-store facilities. Police brutality used against the marchers dramatized the plight of blacks to the nation at large, with enormous impact. King was arrested, but his voice was not silenced: He wrote the “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” to refute his critics.Later that year King was a principal speaker at the historic March on Washington, where he delivered one of the most passionate addresses of his career. Time magazine designated him as its Person of the Year for 1963. A few months later he was named the recipient of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize. When he returned from Norway, where he had gone to accept the award, King took on new challenges. In Selma, Ala., he led a voter-registration campaign that ended in the Selma-to-Montgomery Freedom March. King next brought his crusade to Chicago, where he launched programs to rehabilitate the slums and provide housing.In the North, however, King soon discovered that young and angry blacks cared little for his preaching and even less for his pleas for peaceful protest. Their disenchantment was one of the reasons he rallied behind a new cause: the war in Vietnam.Although he was trying to create a new coalition based on equal support for peace and civil rights, it caused an immediate rift. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) saw King’s shift of emphasis as “a serious tactical mistake.” The Urban League warned that the “limited resources” of the civil-rights movement would be spread too thin.But he never got back to his poverty plans. Death came for King on April 4, 1968, on the balcony of the Lorraine Hotel just off Beale Street in Memphis. While standing outside with Jesse Jackson and Ralph Abernathy, King was shot in the neck by a rifle bullet. His death caused a wave of violence in major cities across the country.However, King’s legacy has lived on.In 1969, his widow, Coretta Scott King, organized the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Non-Violent Social Change. Today it stands next to his beloved Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. His birthday, January 15th, is a national holiday, celebrated each year with educational programs, artistic displays, and concerts throughout the United States. The Lorraine Hotel where he was shot is now the National Civil Rights Museum.Note: Multiple publications contributed to this report. You have entered an incorrect email address!
