I’m a first year analyst and never really had money to save before. I now have savings to cover 6 months of expenses (in cash) and want to start saving for a house (starting with my first bonus). No money in the market. Any advice on where to start? Based in the UK.

Not sure what is available in the UK but a low-cost robo advisor could be a good option for you. You can set up regular auto-savd contributions, and thry can manage the portfolio allocation over time to make sense for your target date, so it will require almost no active work on your part.

NYC based Managing Director, salary range?

Received an offer from EY FSO.
Coming in as an SC2 with a comp of 115k with a 5k moving comp to move to NYC.

I have 5 YOE in financial services and 1 YOE in consulting.

Wanted to gather any information on what to target as an offer? Should I be targeting 130k base? EY

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
