Cheers to you my friend! I'm putting a pin in the job search until next month. I'm excited to fully unplug and unwind with family for the next few weeks. Hope you have a great Christmas break!

Taking a real pause sounds like the best plan. Hope you have a relaxing, unplugged Christmas break with your family too 🎄

It's been rough out there this year. 5 months of only a few promising interviews only to be ghosted by most. Merry merry! Thanks for the nice sentiment. Have a great break!

Ugh, that’s been such a rough experience, and sadly way too common this year. Wishing you a much-needed break and hoping the new year brings better momentum. Merry Christmas!

I haven’t completely paused, but I’m definitely taking a few days to do nothing related to searching or working. Looking forward to it and hope everyone can do the same!

Even a short break from searching and work can feel so refreshing. Hope those few days are exactly what you need!!

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

I need help figuring out if I’m being underpaid. I’m working in real estate private equity and I focus on fund models and property valuations. I’m currently at base $80k and 20% bonus. On top of that I have 5 years experience and a masters in finance. I’m good at my job and receive positive reviews from everyone. I feel like I should be compensated better but the company says that’s what they think I’m worth. Any help or insights would be great!
