Have you ever successfully gotten an out-of-cycle merit raise? How did you ask for it and what do you think made you successful? I’m considering asking for one because of the increased responsibilities I’ve had lately but I want to make sure I go into the conversation as prepared as possible.

I haven't done it but I've heard of it happening. If circumstances have changed and you're dealing with more responsibilities you've got a good reason to go for it. Make your pitch about how you've grown in the job and you're a more valuable employee now than you were when your present pay was determined. Your compensation should reflect that growth.

Yes. I was “promoted “ to an analyst role at work still the same role but more responsibility and more pay. This was last September. We get annual raises and bonuses every March. I still got mine.

Same. My promo came with a 15% increase in June then the merit increase in October since our fiscal year is October

Hi, all. I'd love some advice from professional 🐠. I found out my date, who I've dated for 1.5 years with, is addicted to seeking new guys and random hookups on gay apps, almost 24/7. He said that love and sex are different for him. Can I expect him to stop the addiction and love me monogamously?

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.

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?

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.
