How do you feel about discussing pay with coworkers? I think if two people do the same job, their salaries should be similar, so transparency helps. I recently asked a coworker with my same title and tenure about it, and they acted like I’d committed a crime. It was so awkward. Is talking about money still a huge taboo for you, or do you think it’s actually helpful to compare?

Talking about pay shouldn’t be a taboo! Sharing can really help us all feel more fair about things. We’re all in the same boat!

I agree. I walked out on a manager that was so incompetent and made sure all same level coworkers knew what i was making before i left so they knew their worth hahahaha

I think it can be rude. my salary is my business. But if you wanna know an appropriate pay range, I might talk to you about that it’s especially hard if you’re direct directly working with somebody because if they find out you’re making double or more than them an hour. They’re gonna be insulted, but maybe they didn’t earn it. Maybe they don’t have as much experience. Maybe they aren’t as good as their job.

If someone asks me, I tell them. I get paid fairly for my level of education, experience, certifications. I live in a wage transparency state. This really shouldn’t be a big deal. And frankly, it has worked to my advantage in the past: many years ago, someone terribly incompetent in their job and wildly over paid for it bragged to everyone daily about how much they were making per year. I took that number to my boss and asked would it be possible to revisit my salary in light of the disparity in the department and I brought all the receipts for all the projects I was managing all the money I was saving the apartment, etc. and ended up with a 30% raise mid year. I never had to say that I might consider looking elsewhere – I loved that company and the people I worked with, but I think they understood that was a retention opportunity.

I think more can be gained for everyone by being open about compensation. Companies benefit from their employees being afraid to compare notes and advocate for themselves.

That’s why you don’t talk about money with your co workers they use is as leverage towards you.

Hi so I need help. I currently work to bring clients into the company i work at for web design, social media management, and brand strategy. I also do this as feeelance on the side, so where do I draw the line between who I refer to the company I work for or who I personally do freelance for? I don’t want to short out the company I work for but also love freelance and am more than capable of the work.

Preparing to give notice to my current firm. Accepted an amazing opportunity to lateral at a more prestigious firm (better compensation, lower billables, and shorter commute).
I’m excited to make this jump, but it’s still bittersweet for me because the partners at my current firm are truly amazing and I have learned a lot from them over the past few years and will miss them a lot. Any insight on the best way to have this convo without burning bridges? Thanks!

Is it crazy to leave my job at EY to take a lower paying position in industry? I'm a recently promoted tax manager making about 140k. I've been considering going to industry for a while, gotten a couple offers, but they're all pretty low (<$120k). Honestly, the $20k difference isn't that much, but I've also been considering taking job that pay maybe $90k and doing work on the side (my own "firm"). But it also feels strange to accept such a lower salary. Thoughts?
