I’m not sure you can negotiate when being let go. 2 weeks per calendar year of service seems to be pretty standard

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license.

I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

Been at a new job for a couple of months. Overall it’s been disappointing and I’m starting to feel anxiety for the future.

I’d been interviewing with this company for a while (off and on for 7 months+) and during that time made work I’m proud of and as of this past may, is award winning. (continued in comments)
