Does anyone else feel weird taking personal leave, even when you’re allowed to? Or is it just me overthinking how it looks at work?

Nope. It's part of your benefits package.

So you feel weird getting reimbursed by insurance when you go to the doctor.

Do you feel weird getting a pay check at the end of the month.

True. That makes sense

No, no one should feel bad over that. The whole concept of taking time off is predicated on the idea that we'll come back with refreshed perspective and be better employees. So taking time off is actually better for the company. Keep that in mind and it's all quite simple. No reason for guilt!

That’s a good perspective. Thank you!

Do what you gotta do. Never get to the point where you are letting corporate control your life. It’s YOUR benefit and YOU’RE entitled to use it. I wish you the best

“It ain’t show-friends, it’s show-business.”. These benefits are part of your compensation plan. Don’t feel bad about using them.

Yes, it can feel like you’re letting the team down or leaving things unfinished even if you’re just taking a vacation. Usually it’s best to just communicate with everyone why you’re doing it rather than letting them guess. People are often more understanding than you would think.

That just sounds extra. Then it becomes expected

You're overthinking. You earned that time off. Take it. If you have a hard time doing that, think how you'd respond if a friend or loved one was asking you this question. You'd tell them to take the time off for their mental health, right? Extend yourself that same grace.

Thank you!

You’re definitely overthinking. I too also feel this way but I know it’s just me over thinking

I never feel bad, but I also have supportive management that doesn’t overly question when someone takes personal leave.

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

Is anybody here a notary? And how much are you making from that? Is it a potential side-hustle?
