I work in investment banking and am just going to be returning from maternity leave in one week. I was recruited from another bank to join my firm at the beginning of 2022 on the verbal promise I’d be promoted to VP by end of year, and am worried that because I was off for ~3 month Mat leave I will be held back from promotion to VP and a good bonus. What do you think? If this plays out for the worst (ie no promo and bad bonus), do I have grounds for legal action? Just curious

As I get older and have less of the rose tinted glasses perspective that I did coming into the industry, I've been slowly becoming more worried about the potential for layoffs (not firing). I feel like it's normal and bound to happen to most people due to factors outside of their control, whether they're at an agency, client side etc. I think this comes from a deep rooted trauma as a child where my single parent became unemployed and we were homeless for a bit. But is this a normal fear?

Hi fellow ladies in finance! Curious to know: has anyone seriously contemplated leaving the industry for similar reasons?

The things, as planners, we cannot do

I made the error of telling a recruiter my minimum preference of salary when she asked target salary. She confirmed that’s in line with the role pay scale plus a small bonus. The employer now made me an offer for this exact amount & small bonus.
Do I live with my error and just accept and potentially leave $ on the table? Or is it acceptable to counter with 5k more for example, (seeing as everyone usually recommends countering and that the employer is expecting a counter/can always do better)

Was previously working as an advisor growing a nice book and left to move 18hrs away to be close to family.

I have 10 yrs experience and CFP, often more than FAs I’m helping. Ask for more $$ or start over being an FA?
