Is anyone here employed in the arts? Are there many lucrative job positions in arts or music? My niece wants to be a professional bassoon player but I just don’t see how that can ever pay the bills. Would like some insight.

I went to school with somebody who pursued classical music in college and then worked with an orchestra afterwards. They ended up moving across the country for it. There are jobs, even lucrative ones, but they can be extremely competitive. One of those things that is possible, but great to have a backup plan. But what doesn’t that go for nowadays?

I have a friend who plays an instrument professionally and makes good money. But I will say that is not the norm. It is very hard to make it playing an instrument professionally.

Attempting to transfer from a big 4 in Chicago to New York. Received my offer for New York and saw that the offer was lower than initial offer. Talked to recruiter and they didn’t budge on salary.

I see news articles all the time about Big 4 entering the legal market. Has anyone heard of this? I’m curious to see if an attorney providing legal services while working at B4 will make the same as a big law associate. Could this be the end of the huge big law starting salary?

Additional Posts in Salary & Compensation

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?

I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
