I have a question for those of you whose salary has kept up with the cost of living. What do you do? Because I'll change careers in a heartbeat for a chance to afford living.

What I recommend is getting certifications in your area of expertise along with changing companies every 2 or 3 years and asking for more money each time. If you stay at the same company for more than five years you’re doing yourself a disservice because they will only go up only so much in terms of a raise.

Following! My salary has not gone up at all. Feels like I’m making less now than years ago when I was actually earning less money. Costs are so high now for everything.

I would love to know this as well. I don't know a single peson who's salary has kept up with the rising costs of living. Some people I know haven't gotten a raise in years.

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?
