How do you even start a salary conversation with coworkers? I believe in transparency, but I also know it can backfire if not handled carefully. I’ve been thinking about bringing it up with a close colleague. We’re in the same role, and I’m curious if the pay gap rumors are real. But I don’t want to create awkwardness or make them feel like they have to share.

I don't personally. I like the idea of salary transparency, but not enough to risk making a colleague uncomfortable by asking a question they might not want to answer. If they bring it up, I've got no issue sharing, I'm just not going to be the one initiating that convo.

It would be hard for me to bring it up but if my coworker brings it up first then I don’t mind sharing.

I don’t typically bring it up unless it’s the right situation. I had a coworkers leave for another company and before they left, I asked what they were making so I could gauge if I was being paid fairly. At that point, they didn’t mind because they were leaving anyway

Hi Everyone! I have a background in health research. I received my first offer as a ux researcher 3 (1 step below senior) which is pretty competitive compared to my former field. It is with fanduel for 120k base, 6% bonus (8% next year since I’m not starting in jan) , I believe 10% in equity (12.5% next year) total comp 130. I’m extremely grateful but just wanted to see if this was acceptable for the industry. I’m mixed methods and they want to build out their quant side. Should I accept as is?

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

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.
