I just found out the intern makes more hourly than I did when I started here five years ago. I know inflation exists, but seeing the starting rate jump that much while mine has barely budged is a total slap in the face. How would you approach HR about an equity adjustment without sounding like you’re just jealous?

You don't. They're not going to agree to it just because someone else is earning more than you did when you started. More importantly, after five years, there's zero chance what they'd offer (if they did, and they won't) to adjust would be more than you'd make by jobhopping. Brush off the resume and get to it.

You should approach it as a compensation clarification, not a comparison or complaint about the intern. Don’t mention the intern’s pay, but maybe say something like “I’d like to have a conversation about my current compensation and how it aligns with my role, responsibilities, and market benchmarks.” See if they will do an adjustment for you

I wouldn’t just argue that you should get paid more because of what they may. Instead, make a case that’s just about you and why you deserve a raise. That’ll be much easier to discuss and advocate for yourself and your work.

Hello all,
I have been selected as a Technical Consultant for PWC India On-campus and they have mentioned that Internship starts from January, but there is not particular mention about a Internship Offer letter. And so far the Placement cell has only circulated a Offer acceptance google form. There is no official notification from PWC India as well. What else can I do?

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?
