I just got this role with a fintech as a transfers specialist for £31k, for the first time in an interview, I didn’t ask what the salary band was, I just went straight up and mentioned the amount I wanted. The offer was given to me same day after my last interview. I’ve started the role now and I have a feeling my colleagues might be earning higher than me . How do I find out the pay band for the role or what other are earning without doing so directly?

At some point I decided to let it go and focus on my job then ask for a pay rise based on performance in future, but it’s quite eating me up as I keep feeling I made a lower offer. Anyone been in this situation before? How did you navigate it?

Yes, corporations bank on you not knowing what your peers make. Your best bet is to get friendly with a couple peers so you can find out. Say you want to ask for a raise at your next review but want to make sure you aren't at the top of the band. Tell them yours and if they make more they will tell you that you're not at the top.

3 Things to keep in mind which changing jobs:
1. Always ask dedicated budget for the job before you tell your expectations.

2. Always have atleast 2 weeks of gap before you join any company. You might not understand significance of that but just have a gap.

3. Always talk to people of team you will be joining before you accept offer or atleast before you join company.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

When I negotiated my comp, all my discussions were around me being a junior and I only accepted my comp for that reason (would not have accepted if I was step above junior since it was low). Negotiations happened with HR, but my offer letter and documents never mention junior (but I have proof from HR saying I am a junior). How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise
