I think I just made the biggest mistake of my career by turning down a promotion to senior analyst. I was so worried about the extra hours and the added commute that I didn't stop to think about the massive long-term impact on my base salary. Do you think it’s possible to re-open that conversation without looking like an indecisive mess to leadership?

To the conversation part? Yeah possibly. To the not looking indecisive part? I doubt it, unless you can come up with a really compelling, believable reason for your apparent change of heart.

It doesn't hurt to ask. Not sure how recently you turned it down, but you can always say you just weren't ready at that time. It is possible to change your mind down the road and decide you want to take the promotion.

I don’t think it would hurt to reopen to conversation and explain your new stance so you aren’t overlooked in the future, if it’s too late for you to get the promotion this time

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?
