Hi, I'm a graduate based in London seeking advice on investment management/financial services spaces. I have international education (UK &USA), prior work and internship experience in financial services, along with a sports background as an NCAA team captain and GB International player. Despite reaching final interview rounds twice, I didn't receive an offer. I'm looking for unconventional strategies to break into the industry. Any advice on networking or unique methods would be appreciated.

Folks, need some advice here. I got my hike letter at Unilever and it looks like the hike is only on the basic salary (as per the letter) and not on entire fixed (basic + hra + other). I joined the company only last year and I'm trying to understand if this is the usual thing here. I feel I have been low balled because I took the offer last year being convinced that another hike was on the way. Should i have a conversation about this with my Manager?

Hey how to get pluralsight access?

I have 3 years experience being an account manager in a large brokerage.

Does this sound fair based on my 4 years experience in the field or am I underselling myself?

I work in insurance. I was working for an Allstate agent and was fired the day after my grandmothers funeral for being “unenthusiastic in our morning meeting”. Now I’m having anxiety searching for a job. I don’t think I want to sell anymore yet every single recruiter I interview with says I should, that I have a “salesperson mentality”. I’m burnt out. Has anyone else felt this way? How did handle it? Is there a different career path I can take or am I destined to sell insurance forever?

Hey fishes,

Let’s say
Brillio gave some joining bonus and if we are leaving within an year we need to pay it back.
So does it mean I need to put papers after one year or is that okay to put papers after 9 months, so serving 3 months notice makes it one year.
Please let me know if anyone had an idea about this.
Brillio
