I want to ask for a raise, but my manager just had a baby and came back from leave. The timing feels awkward even though I know it shouldn’t matter. I’ve hit every metric, taken on extra work, and this conversation is long overdue. But part of me worries it’ll seem insensitive or poorly timed. Would you wait or ask anyway?

Extra responsibilities outside of the scope you were brought on mean you should be compensated more. If your manager doesn't agree then you should find a role that is higher paid. Let your manager deal with finding someone new, do your work in the meantime, while having to care for the baby.

At the end of the day, there is really no perfect time to ask for a raise. You hae to advocate for yourself because nobody else will do it for you. I would definitely schedule a meeting and discuss your raise.

I wouldn’t do it the first week she was back, but maybe after 3-4 weeks. I enjoy working with my manager and wouldn’t want to add to her list right when she’s back, but it also depends on the workload and if it’s actually manageable or not for a couple more weeks

I would wait for her to settle down a bit at work and then ask her

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?

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
