Finance loves to say “it’s a meritocracy” ...do you believe that? I hear it all the time: “Finance is a meritocracy, if you’re good, you’ll get ahead.” But I’ve seen brilliant women get overlooked while less qualified men get promoted because they have the right connections. I want to believe in a merit-based system, but experience tells me it’s not that simple. Do you think finance is a true meritocracy, or is that just a comforting myth?

Meritocracy in terms of knowing all the right people and being able to get them to push for you. I am around a lot of people that do amazing jobs and they have yet to get ahead. We do not have a transparent means of getting ahead here either so you just don’t have a lot of options to even try.

I hear that too, and while I’d love to believe it’s all about merit, it doesn’t always play out that way. Networking and visibility seem to matter just as much, if not more sometimes. It’s frustrating seeing talent overlooked and I doubt if it's ever going to change.

How much are other big 4 assurance level 2 people making in the SLC area? I’m only making 60K and I feel like that’s low for how expensive things are here.

I’m extremely out of shape and have just started going to the gym. When i do squats, like literally by squat 5 my knees are hurting. But i know my form isnt wrong. Do i just have bad knees or is this normal when ur out of shape?

I’ve only lost ~5 pounds, but I’ve been working out daily for 4 months and getting much stronger and healthier (started working out intermittently for about a year before that). Yesterday I fit into a pair of shorts that haven’t fit in 4 years 🥳🥳
