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.

Has anyone quit their job because of a relationship? I started my job 3 months ago and now my employer wants me to move to NY.

I would honestly quit my job and wouldn't mind the job search again.

Additional Posts in Salary Negotiations

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?
