How flexible is your company with working remotely for a week if something comes up, like your child getting sick and is home from school? Mine is relatively flexible, but want to know if this is the norm

I’m good about it and don’t really care… and I let my senior advisors make the call when it comes to their support staff, again they’re pretty good…

Our Development Program is more strict and rigorous… the director understands maybe a day or two, but a week is unlikely to be approved and she’ll probably tell you to take PTO or find alternative accommodations for your kid… granted most people in the program are under 30 and don’t have kids…

My company is pretty flexible with that kind of thing which is really nice. When we have to work remotely if something comes up, they don't really mind as long as our manager is okay with it. I have never gotten any pushback.

That’s great! Having an understanding environment is so important

Technically, not flexible at all. My boss specifically, super cool.

I work from home permanently but those who live near office they gotta submit a request in writing from what I’ve heard

Some flexibility, but there is more and more scrutiny every day due to people taking advantage or abusing the in-office policy

My company is flexible which I am grateful for.

Now i feel my company very flexible in this kind of situation

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly.

Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

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.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. 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?

Does anybody know what the typical salary range is and total comp for someone starting out as an internal or external wholesaler? If you are one of these, can you share about your experience in terms of whether you liked it or not, work life balance, travel, etc?
