It's about to be compensation talk in a minute. What percentage are you ok with receiving? If you don't receive that percentage are you going to start looking elsewhere?

Irrelevant - it’s about what your market rate is. If you are currently getting 100, and the best offer you can get in the market today is 90, in theory, you should get a pay cut of 10. So if they give you zero increase, are you going to quit the 100 and go take the 90?

That’s a fair argument…

I don’t think there’s a “being okay” with what you receive… it’s whatever you receive… if they say you’re receiving 3%… are you going to say “it’s 5% or nothing”?… no, you’ll take the 3% and do whatever it is you decide to do… live with it or depart…

But in the spirit of transparency, I only draw a salary because of my managerial duties… and it’s based on how my team performs… this year it’s 5% (~$9,500)… but that makes up ~18% of my total compensation, the rest is tied to my individual revenue and my associated grid rate, which should be ~30% next year, if the market holds steady and I don’t onboard any assets…

It is situational. If I am desperate to leave, my numbers aren’t very strong. If I’m happy and just window shopping, those percentages are significantly higher.

It is never okey what we receive. We always get maximum 3-5% every year which is never enough

that’s human nature, it’s never going to be enough no matter what

I received 3% merit raise this year and although still disappointing, I’m much happier with it than the measly 1% I’ve gotten the last 2 years

I would like your opinion: assume someone at its late 30’s that has been doing Trade Finance (structure trade finance and product development) for the past 10 years. Also assume this individual is looking to do something different but still in banking to leverage the experience acquired through the years... now here is the question: what potential career paths do you see for this person?

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

User experience mgr salary? I support six product teams and eight reports. 20+ years experience

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

Does anybody know what the typical salary range is and total comp for someone starting out as an internal or external wholesaler? If you are one of these, can you share about your experience in terms of whether you liked it or not, work life balance, travel, etc?

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.
