I'm worried bc the data team keeps saying that we should re-run the numbers until leadership likes them and I can’t tell if they’re joking or not, but it will compromise the ethics of what we're doing if they are. How do I raise this without making it too serious.

Seems like a pretty important question to ask. Can you talk to someone on your team about what the data team means exactly? If you're really unsure of whether or not they're joking, then it's worth getting to the bottom of it.

“Oh I’m sorry the numbers are the numbers”
“What is the hope here? Maybe we can meet about what we need to do in the future”

I don't think you have to tip toe around that. What they are suggesting is very unethical and you're right to be uncomfortable about it.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA?

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

I’ve worked 2 years at a non profit 501c 3 tech startup. When I started there were 6 employees we now have 22. I am considered a part of leadership and am a people manager in addition to my sales role. I am a high performer and last year got a 10% raise (which I asked for). This year I was offered 5%. I am going to counter but curious what anyone thinks I should ask for. I was thinking 8%.

Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore? I’ve been at my (smaller) agency almost 5yrs and got one raise (a nice $12k bump) during that time—is that sufficient? Is one increase in that span normal? I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.
