I am working in central London, rent: £1,000 & tube :£200 monthly. I have a masters in maths from a russel group uni. I get £30,000 annually. Been working here for a year (my first job in finance). After inflation rose salary got updated to 31,500. It is my first job in finance. It's not enough to save any money and my financial situation is stressful. Is it reasonable to ask for a pay rise? How much do others in my position get? I'm not CII qualified.

I’m not in the UK, but if you can show your performance and impact, I’d try for at least 5%. The bigger increases are going to come from promotions or landing somewhere new

It is defintiely reasonable to ask for a raise in pay. You should do research and see what the market pay is for someone in that role. That way you can show them you should be making more.

I remember few months after having arrived to the UK asking for a pay rise because the salary was too low. Still remember my manager grinning while delivering me the news there will be no pay rise

London honestly seems like one of the toughest global markets. Do you feel the skills you gained from this job can help you get your next one? How many total YOE?

I've been on keto for 2 months now. Got through the flu fine, but lately when I stand up I've been getting very light headed and need to hold onto something... Thoughts/remedies??

I am a woman who has been working as a tech PE investor for 8 months now, and have been feeling extremely discouraged by my experiences in this sector so far. I regularly get mistaken as the “administrative assistant” in meetings and email chains, have had things said to me by men such as “the only way you work in private equity is as a receptionist”, and have even been at networking events where men have literally grabbed my ass when no one was looking. Any advice on how to handle this?

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
