How do you deal when you complain about $$$ but then realize the people your talking to make wayyyyy less than you. I wish people would be more transparent of what they make.

Idk I’m mixed on this
My perspective:
I am 100% transparent with my coworkers and consulting / professional peers about my salary because it’ll help ensure they’re paid fairly.

That being said, some of my close friends don’t know because they work in completely different fields (teaching, healthcare, etc). And they all just assume I’m overpaid for the “work” I do.

As D1 said, make some wealthy friends so you can cry into your money together when you can't afford the upkeep on your 3rs home. But keep your poor friends because they are probably more fun

I’m on Chapter 21 of Becoming where Michelle Obama states people pay more attention to her clothes than her actual words. I can relate to this on a smaller scale. My former manager in 2019 would poke fun at my hair color (I’m going grey and love Overtone) rather than ever give me feedback on my job performance. I finally confronted him and told him I’m not sensitive but it was “getting old.” Can anyone else share a similar circumstance?

Our temp who has about as much experience as me but is definitely not as good at getting things done told me that he makes $115k while I’m just making 95k. I spend so much time teaching and training him. Almost as much time as I spend doing my own work. Been at the company for a year. Learned so much since I started and invested lots of my own money into more tech training that the co refused to pay. Is it realistic to get up to 115k soon or should I find another job?

Looks like B4 partners makes the most $$ in the long run, even tech/FAANG or industry level senior roles doesn’t pay more then $600-700k, except a few roles like ceo/IB/PE/other financial roles/startup rsu (of u r lucky). Came to the conclusion after reading all the posts in this and other bowls. May be MBB, but if u add pensions, I think B4 is better. Thoughts?
