I’m 23, a year out of undergrad, and I have been working as a Portfolio Specialist in Fintech for the last 5 months. I have internship exp with Vanguard as well. I’m wondering when would be a good time to transition to a new role with more pay. I am not thrilled with my current compensation (but I don’t have many expenses to begin with). Would love to hear thoughts!

Great and I appreciate your motivation.

You have gained incredible access to some of the largest portfolio owners.

Take a step back and congratulate yourself on this beginning successful achievement. Although the compensation is not there at this moment with persistence it will come.

For all there is a learning period take that sacrifice and be eager because higher income is definitely coming your way. And yes you do not want to set still as soon as the competency is accomplished move on. Try to learn all there is to know . Stay up to date research the industry for opportunities and future expectations.

I’m only making around 55k right now and would like to make more around 70k if possible.

Any best practices on what has worked to streamline recruiting processes for devs?

2nd stage of our interview process is a technical challenge and a conceptual discussion (system design)

Do any of you have experience with structuring a technical challenge to where it's the same for each candidate? I've had it happen where our devs asked questions to each candidate based on their lived experience vs. a standard set of questions that revolve around what needs to be performed in a dev role.
