Can I negotiate a salary increase after finding out I'm being extremely underpaid? What should my main point be? Who do I go to?

OP/D3-been there and done that. the only thing that really works is a competing offer. Get an offer and say that you really want to stay but the economics are compelling. If they value you they will make some adjustments. But if they don't blink you should be willing to walk.

D3-glad you feel strongly about the firm. I did too. But you have to be realistic about it too. Do you feel happy or good about yourself when you make less than your peers? And if not, is it worth it just because you feel you have a shot at partnership? Because if you have a shot at partnership here you have a shot at partnership at any of the other Big4 or consulting firms. In the end, it's your choice and decision - at what point and for how much money are you willing to stay vs. move?

Only if you have the right network !!

@D3 valid, but if the gap you're asking to cover is reasonable and they don't accommodate or commit to a clear and defined path to do so in a timeframe that's fair, then keep your options open

In the same boat. I don't even know where to begin the conversation. It's stupid to make less than your incompetent colleagues.

^ nailed it

Kpmg1, totally agree with you but I don't want to walk. Have a solid network and definitely see long term benefits ahem* partnership*

Hey Sharks,
How much should one expect in a top consultancy firm, back end role (reasearch team) ?

Maxed out Roth IRA contributions when I wasn't eligible for 2021 (got a salary bump mid year). Do I need to recharacterize? It's a very small account that's been open for only two years. That's the only IRA account I own. Do I need to open a traditional IRA and roll over 6k + realized gains into that account and keep the Roth IRA. So confused how this works and got conflicting information from Merrill.

Can someone point me to some material where I can read about profit sharing vs 401k. I get the concept, but I am trying to understand is 10% profit sharing vested over 5 years better than an employee 401k match of 6%?

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?
