I found out that my Unlimited PTO actually has a secret Soft Cap of 15 days per year. My manager pulled me aside to mention that I’m approaching the limit even though the employee handbook literally says there is no limit. I’m tempted to print out the handbook and bring it to HR, but I know that’s a one-way ticket to a poor cultural fit review. Does anyone actually work at a firm where Unlimited actually means Unlimited?

I think you’ve been heavily misguided. In many cases, “unlimited” doesn’t mean you can use it forever, otherwise why wouldn’t you take a year off and ride the wave?

Think of it like this. If you win a “a years” supply of something, it’s limited to what the the governing body deems “a years supply”.

Be careful with this one, a lot of groups may say unlimited but it’s what is deemed unlimited, not the literal sense

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.

Is anybody here a notary? And how much are you making from that? Is it a potential side-hustle?

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?
