I spent a lot time trying to find a really good career coach / mentor in private equity and I finally found one and have been working with them for a year. I thought others might be in the same position, if you’re looking for a career coach/mentor in private equity, I’m happy to make the intro to my person. I’ve geniuely grown many folds since meeting him a year ago.

What do you need a career coach for? I understand the mentorship part. I’m curious to hear how you’ve grown though

introduced me to senior folks (who otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to), coached for interviews, helped set me up from a 5-10 year path.

Having someone whose in the position you want to be in and them coaching you is extremely underrated.

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?

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year.

It is an important trait to have in this job and I just don't know how to do this. It makes me very upset - I even sought therapy but wasn't useful. I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(
