Anyone have or know of others who have a commission-based assistant? I seriously doubt this is legal I don't know why anyone would except such a role but there are definitely people out there doing

It is if the person is licensed and sponsored by the firm

Why would it not be legal?

It would not be legal because it is a gray area that can be debated in a court of law whether the person is rendering their services to you as an independent contractor or whether that person is acting as your employee in a W-2 capacity. That person can agreed to work as your assistant on a commission basis and then later turn around and sue you for wages and overtime because they should have been treated as a wage earning employee the entire time but they were just too stupid to realize it until later

It’s the exact same with every w2 advisor that earns commissions instead of hourly wages

How much does KPMG KGS offer for

Senior engineer making 135k and I was offered a promotion to engineering manager after completing a development plan. Near the end of the plan and I expect compensation talks to start soon. Based on some research around Boston and my role in the company, I feel 165k plus 10-15% bonus is fair. Nonetheless, first time going through something like this and asking for thoughts and comments. Thanks!

My dilemma:

I'm at a LMM investment bank. Can get crazy sometimes, but otherwise chill. Typically done around 7-9 pm, had maybe three 1 am nights. Haven't worked a weekend in over a month. Fridays almost always done at 5 pm.

Have an offer at a reputable MM bank but probably pretty sweaty. Worth the move?
