HSBC gave great recommendations. I’ve gotten away with something like the photo below. I am client facing (but don’t do it often). I would stir away from neons but as long as you dress sharp, you can get away with a lot more than you think. 😅

French, nude, and light ballet pink are always appropriate. Other colors depend on the workplace. I’ve gotten away with reds and hot pinks while in non-client-facing roles when I was the only woman on the team.

I work as an Associate at a VC fund. I started working at the company almost a year ago. We recently looked to hire another associate for the fund. I ran the search and we found a candidate we liked and then I found out that the other candidate got offered $15K more than what I am making.

For context, I am the only non-parter on the investment team so there is no one else to compare myself to.

I’m being recruited back to a bank I left 6 months ago. Was contacted by a recruiter this week because I had indicated in my exit interview that I would consider a return to the firm in the future. When I left this bank for my current employer… I received a $30k bump. I’ve never been recruited before and am curious what questions I should ask? Is this a good sign? Would it be wrong to ask for an additional $25k to go back?

Hi Everyone,
Any suggestions on networking in the private finance sector?
I recently transitioned from public to private sector finance to be more well-rounded and I’m having a hard time connecting with people in the space. I work for a fund admin in the digital asset space for HF & PE/VC firms and I noticed how much “bro culture” seems to impact the industry. Networking is hard enough working from home but I know how important it is to make those connections.

18 months too quick to change jobs?
-Graduated 2020; high GPA, internships, finance
-Starting PT mba at top 15 school this fall

1. Analyst for 10 months (low pay; took the job in mega Covid as all other hiring stopped)
2. Analyst 18 months (tech company, good experience, 15k more per year, small/can’t promote me yet)

-Recruiters reached out with senior analyst roles so I interviewed just to see (really like a few, 20-30k base salary increase, awesome benefits, promotion, good culture/reviews)
