I’ve been a financial advisor for 10 years now. Being an independent financial advisor with Northwestern Mutual was the way to go for me because I retain the rights of my clients and I can sell my book of business when I retire. Regardless if you’re with an investment bank or broker dealer look at the first five years as your residency. This first 5 years will have a huge influence in determining how things go after 5 years as well. The first 5 years you’re over worked and under paid. Then 5 years out you’re underworked and over paid. Depending on the contract you have of course. You can build an empire, but the grind is real. Good luck to you!

HiAll, My lead resigned and my manager informed me just 2 weeks before her lwd on this and asked me to take up all their responsibilities. I don't think this is not a professional way to handle things and KTs are not properly given. I'm really worried if this will affect my career. I'm not really interested to work in this project. I have tried many ways to release me from this project . But manager is really amendment to release as there is no senior member in the team.

Pretty new here! Great news ..JOB offer …however the company is lowballing salary ..I informed recruiter Amount was not acceptable …sent off the salary requirement letter …. Nail biting ..Why waste my time again …she didn’t know the budget… so we proceeded forward, her reply ..advised me to talk w hiring team but in final interview there was no opportunity to speak abt salary w hiring team ….Have to say I enjoy the posts & it’s a decent networking site!!

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
