Careerwise, I grew up believing that salary conversations were something to not talk about. But being more open about pay on this particular team I am in has helped uncover gaps and cases of undervaluation. How transparent is pay at your workplace? and what’s been your experience with pay transparency?

I actually got called into HR’s office and was scolded for sharing my salary with a coworker. I didn’t think it was a big deal, but apparently it was. Most of the places I’ve worked aren’t transparent about pay—they want to keep it hush-hush so people don’t realize they’re being underpaid.

I feel the policy of not being transparent with our salary is not fair enough and getting scolded for something that seems natural is actually unfair and I'd understand with you being scolded not wanting to disclose your salary because of what you had experience.

I find salary conversations with colleagues awkward to approach. I've only asked people I'm more close to. But if someone ask I'll tell them

Yeah, even me, I'd tell you my salary if you ask me, there's nothing for me to hide about it.

Industry vets - in your experience how recession proof is insurance? I was not yet in the job market last recession but I watched my mom get laid off and struggle to find employment during that time for the next 1.5 years. I was wanting to hit the job market towards the end of this year, but now I worry that if I do move companies, the recession could put me in position of last one hired first one fired. Is it better to stay put?
