I'm a Senior Account Executive, but my tasks lately make me feel like I've taken on a smaller role. At any of your agencies what are your SAEs responsible for? I want to make sure I'm progressing in my career.

I’ve seen many agencies use the SAE position as a carrot for AEs that would otherwise leave for career growth. As a result, the role of an SAE is rarely defined and easily falls into AE territory. I think you’re up the right tree with setting clear roles & responsibilities!

that gives me some perspective!

Small law compensation discussion: What is your compensation with YOE and region/city? I am an equity partner at a small firm with 12 YOE and am making $110-140K depending on the year, with a nice benefits package probably worth at least $30K/year and a good WLB. I am underpaid compared to at least two of my partners but am not yet in a position to negotiate more shares.

(But I am wondering if I am grossly underpaid as I see folks in here making $300-350K with half my experience and I am 🤯)

And if he doesn’t like me she has other clients who would.

I was part of Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd.
The HR relationship manager was Deepa Vishwanathan. I resigned in May two years back and last working day was in Aug after serving three months notice.
However, due to error on human resource part they updated record as last working date in May. So whenever I was applying for any position there was mismatch in last working day mentioned in my resume and in human resource records with Kotak. Does it have impact on my profile not getting shortlisted?

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
