How do you decide whether to stay in a private bank role in the US with a $225K salary or move to a firm like Morgan Stanley or UBS, where you can own your book but forgo a base salary?

My book generates around $1M in annual revenue, but we’re heavily micromanaged—call logs are recorded, meetings are tracked, and we’re expected to hit annual goals. The idea of owning my book and gaining more freedom is incredibly appealing, but leaving behind a solid salary scares me!

Any news if there is any hiring freeze in UK?
I am not seeing much jobs active in career portals. The ones which are active are in Under Review status since last few months.

I just received an LA-based financial services Controller job offer for $120K plus 10% bonus. I'm currently a manager with 7 years of experience in public accounting? Is this is a competitive salary for the level of experience.

Any Remote opening let me know having 4 years of experience.

What is the expectation at your firms about coming into work after making your billable hours requirement? Asking especially for those who do not get a bonus per extra hour billed over the minimum.

Has anybody moved from HR to social work? How did you do it? Did you take a role to bridge the transition (ex. working in HR for a company that employs social workers)? I think social work would be better aligned to my personal values.

As a 20+ year lawyer with no big law experience (smaller and mid size firms plus government and in house experience), would a BigLaw firm even consider me? Perhaps an of counsel position? Even a senior associate?

Thoughts on the "fake it til you make it" mentality in career growth? Regarding a Front End Developer role.

I passed the HR screen, did an interview with who would be my) supervisor and the team lead, and am now doing a coding test.

I am familiar enough with the language (React) and pushing updates to Git in order to complete the test, but I'm afraid when I do a panel with the team to review my design, I'll end up making a fool of myself.

I've never been so excited yet so nervous for a role.

For those who are established, what steps did you take to ensure consistent growth? One thing that has always deterred me is how often businesses fail. I'm looking for an exit opportunity and have been considering building my own thing for a while. Thanks!!

Hello Everyone, I have received the offer letter from Nielseniq without joining date and details of the notice period or probation. It's just a consent letter and a code of conduct with the salary break up.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
