I’m a WMCA that has been with Merrill 2 1/2 years and my current team 2 years and have never had a raise despite positive annual reviews. Fully paid by FA’s. Is this normal?

I’m in the same position and have also not gotten a raise. About to put in my notice as aim realizing how severely underpaid I am

My office is a ghost town. A few WMCA's left so now I help manager their FA's and they can't seem to hire anyone. The firm needs to pay more and offer hybrid work. Other firms offer it, I don't know why we don't.
I'm looking to move for these changes. Anyone know other firms avg base?
My current base is 60k at 37.5 hrs/week

Are the salary’s higher at competing firms for our position? As a CA, registered, $60k seems too low. Especially as someone who isn’t compensated by FA’s for whatever reason.

Love the people but feel like money is being left on the table.

Does ML drug test? Have an interview tomorrow and pretty sure I'm get the position because of who referred me. Just want to know if I should turn down position because of that.
PS I'm also happy where I'm at WF does not urine test.

Currently work at Merrill @ 63k at 37.5 hrs a week. No FAs pay me out comp. Last FA to pay me out left to Morgan Stanley. Just got an offer from there for 70k at 40 hrs. Waiting for hr to respond back to my counter offer. Anyone work at either place and what does base look like. Fyi I live in CA

Checking in - how’s the market rate for support staff looking these days? Anyone make any moves recently? What about raises?
