Anyone else feel weird realizing new hires are coming in close to (or above) your salary?
Not mad at them — just questioning the system.

This is perpetually the way it is done. I have been in the B4 from when it was the B8, and that was a common complaint back then. Just assume that a staff 2 is making a couple of grand more than a staff 1. When next year rolls around, the new staff 1s will be pushed upward again, and the levels above will be "just a few grand more".

Yep, right when I started.

I guess the question is how many years of experience do you have and what do you consider close? I see alot of staff with a year of experience or seniors with 2-3 years total and feel they should be making 30k more then new hires. Reality is in a few months most new hires should be doing similar work to what you’re doing so normally the difference I’ve seen between new hires and seniors (depending on how senior) is 10-20k.

That's why some people feel it's better to change companies every 2-3 years. When the economy is good you have a better chance at promotions and better pay raises by changing companies every couple years, instead of staying with one for 10-20+ years. And this is easier for the younger generations in the workplace than the older ones that are near retirement age.

Thanks for sharing

I left my firm when I was making less than the new hires I was training.

Scenario: US visa expired in 2021. Applied for a Canadian tourist visa to hopefully go for H-1B stamping in Canada once they open appointments.
Biometrics completed. Haven’t received any comm regarding my tourist visa approval. My partner already revived the visa long ago even if we allied together. Could it be because my US visa has expired? The reason I gave for applying for visitor visa was just for tourism purposes.

Hello everyone! I am a Judicial Law Clerk, which I have been for a little over two years now. However, I’m planning on moving into the AML/Compliance realm. I have a background in finance, having been a Finance Disbursing Officer in the Army for 6 years with one deployment in that role. Additionally, I am currently a JAG attorney and studying for my CAMS, hoping to take that exam in the next month or two. Any advice or referrals for anyone I can talk to learn more about the field? Thanks! :)

Hello Guys,
Need small advice,
I had my LWD on 27th june ,before a week of that i had HSbC last round in which I clearly told I wanted to join by 4th july as my next joining is due at that time.
HR agreed and told will fast track your bgv .
Now the problem is they released offer for 11thJuly saying will preponed in case bgv finished early.
Today I again got a mail for 18th july extension.

Am quite worried here now, as I already said no to other companies !should I try looking again.
