Fully licensed Financial Planner that provides education (no sales) on a wide variety of financial planning topics including retirement, investments, budgeting, estate planning, college funding, taxes, and more. All this sounds sexy, until you find out that you do this all in a call center with 6 clients per day. Burn out is real, growth is non-existent, and salary is bad. I started at $65k and got a 3% raise within a year to $67k. Bonus stayed at $5000. Pay raises only occur if GS performs.

I know that burnout feeling. Are you thinking of leaving? I was working in risk management at GS, so I understand exactly what you are sharing; that's why I left. Having GS on my resume opens a lot of doors for me. You are in a great company, but you do have a lot, so you might need to consider your priorities. You can get into the Associate program in one more year, right? Have you discussed timing and growth potential with your manager? I would also reach out to other teams to see if there is something else you would like to do, and if the team is more chill.

Today I learned a new thing. One candidate was referred by a colleague of mine in the system. He got selected and offer letter rolled out.

When he checked the system he realized the referral was not taken and the background system captured it as direct hire.

So my friend is not going to get any referral incentive.

Wondering if anyone else faced the same issue?

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
