Hi everyone! How did you discuss with your boss all the time you’d be needing to take off for appointments? My boss absolutely hates when people take time off. Company policy is at least a week ahead of time - she says she needs at least 2. Also when someone requests off a couple days in March then a couple days in April for example, she gets annoyed and says they are requesting too much time (even if they have plenty of PTO available).

Hi All, I am new here. I thought of sharing the post to seek guidance from my experienced fish communities. I have in total 9.10 YOE in Investment banking and financial services. I have switched 3 companies so far in my professional career - Societe Generale (2012-2013), Accenture (2013-2019), and London Stock Exchange Group (2019-Present). Even after switching to 3 different companies, my current package is 15 LPA (Fixed). If I look at my peers, I am underpaid. Thanks to guide me.
