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.

Any companies considering inflation raises or have already committed to increasing annual merit to match inflation? If so, willing to share % raise?

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?

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role. 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.

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”.
