Anyone here at Macquarie NYC headquarters? Currently at the offer stage of my interview but have managed to scare myself away from all the negative reviews on Glassdoor/Indeed.

I'm applying for an EA position as my pivot into Finance, working in Media atm. Any insight on the work culture/environment is much appreciated!

There will always be some cons no matter where you go, but if you want to pivot into Finance and you have an offer, you should take it. If it's not a good fit, you can always get some experience and move on down the road, but you don't want to miss out on the opportunity to get into the industry. Just a thought!

I've actually heard great things about Macquarie, so I'd take some of those reviews with a grain of salt. There will always be a few employees who are unhappy, and those are the ones who tend to squawk the loudest, so they often drown out the positive opinions. Of note are their culture and WLB, which can be hard to come by in the finance industry. Another vote for "go for it"!

I was a former employee but I enjoyed my work experience at Macquarie. Workload can be overwhelming but that isn't a daily case. I also love their initiative to provide their employees a fun and happy workplace.

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?

I’m struggling at the moment to gauge how much I should be getting paid in my position as i feel I’m heavily underpaid for the work I do, which includes managing digital marketing operations across 12+ countries, manage the studio/creatives plus lead on any campaigns and strategies, etc. I’m also remote UK-based although my company is international. So what do you feel a fair UK wage would be for the role? I love my job/team but the stress isn’t worth it for me atm. Thanks in advance!

Is this too soon to ask? TIA!
