Hi Everyone- UK based here.. so after rounds of interview an HR from Morgan Stanley asked me to disclose my five years salary history. I found it quite uncomfortable as I feel like I'm losing my bargaining power in negotiating my salary. Any similar experience and how you come to terms in this situation? Thank you

In Sweden salary is public and banks always commence credits checks allowing them to see our income 3 years back. People still manage to negotiate their salaries here

it's nice to know- thank you!

In the US, that typically doesn’t happen.

heard that there are actually states that legislate to ban salary history

I don't think that's even legal. I'd politely decline.

feels like right- especially being a woman and POC

I faced a similar issue but I was still able to negotiate for a little higher. I’m sure you’ll be able to do the same.

thank you for letting me know- i'll try! thanks for the advice

If its ib the salary up to a level is pretty much standard anyway.

Accepted an offer for 150k with another b4 (currently at D) with 4 YOE. I should be happy and jumping with this number but being an 1st gen immigrant, this number is too unreal/scary to me. Growing up I watched my parents struggle working multiple jobs from sunrise to midnight just to make minimum wage for us to have a good life but now it feels weird to be making this much? It feels like a party I shouldn’t be in, but here I am.

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
