I would advise not getting on the phone if it’s one of the big HHs (CPI, amnity, ratio, etc) unless you’ve done a little bit of research/reading up on the job/industry. There is a ton of info out there (check Wall Street oasis). Just because you do want to be somewhat informed when you get on the phone

Yeah in that case feel free to go for it and just learn more

The role is in FinTech

Anyone out there in a role like this? Any books. videos or even best practices to share?

What should I do in a scenario where I was hired (12+ years) with far less salary than(~20% less) than other members (4+ experience) in team and asked to take 80% of team's responsibilities. The hiring manager low balled me sensing that I am in dire need of that job and now I am stuck for 2 years now. The company is a big shot but I am literally getting paid less than what I used to make 10 years ago. Should I try to move within or look outside?
