How important do you think it is to join company events? Some people see them as a good chance to meet senior leadership, build connections, and understand company culture better. Others feel they are just a time waste and prefer to focus only on work. What is your experience — do company events really help career growth, or are they mostly social formality.?

I'm pretty antisocial and they only go to them if I feel like I really need to. Which isn't very often. It probably hasn't helped me in my career, but I don't really care because I don't like small talk with work colleagues.

Thanks for share your experience

Depends on company size. The smaller the company, the more important it is to show up IMO. You don't want to be the person who's noticeably absent when everyone knows one another.

Totally agree with you

I think it’s important to make an effort sometimes but there’s no need to go all the time. However, it also depends on your goals. If you’re trying to quickly climb the ladder, then it’s probably in your best interest to go to more events and put yourself out there

Yeah agree with you sometimes its really helpful to make good relation

I live over 500 miles away from the office but the invitation to join them has been presented to me. Flights/travel paid. I personally don’t want to because of my social anxiety but all in all the people I work with are beyond cool so I would be down if it wasn’t for the anxiety. It’s definitely a great way to network tbh

Your case totally different i think you doing remote job thanks for share your experience

It’s good if you want to network. I’ve gone to a few and was able to make good connections and learn more about what each connection does at work. It has helped me tremendously.

Yeah agree with you its good for network

Additional Posts in Salaries in Finance

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.

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.

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?

User experience mgr salary? I support six product teams and eight reports. 20+ years experience
