I have gotten two offers, one at the SEC and one at BNY Mellon. Both with the same pay and same role. (Fraud Analyst) I’m wondering which company would do better for my career.

The SEC - 100%. Stay there for two years and then get a bank to double your salary.

BNY may have higher total compensation but the SEC role will have a better impact on your career. Banks value the knowledge of people with regulatory backgrounds since they need to spend a lot of time with compliance.

Agreed with other comments. I started my career at a regulator and it made me a hot commodity when I jumped and moved to the bank side.

Also, keep in mind the base salary for the two may be the same, but the bank is likely to offer more total compensation factoring in bonus. However, in the long run, you’ll make more if you go to the regulator first before making the move into a bank.

Its a tricky one if you’re looking to get into an IB as both would provide you similar opportunities but I would agree with D1 that doing 2 years at a regulator will make you a hot cake for the banks and maybe better negotiations power.

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting.

I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

Can someone on a Manager salary afford a $675k house on a single $140k salary? With 20% down?

I’ve worked at the same firm for almost 5 years. I’ve received an end of year bonus of varying sizes- my first year, my paycheck was doubled. The last 3 years, I’ve received 25k-30k bonuses. This year I received a bonus in April (20k) and one in July (15k) but I still expected an end of year bonus. I didn’t get it even though this has been my most profitable year yet. Should I just assume those earlier bonuses were INSTEAD of an end of year bonus or should I ask my boss?
