It's Wednesday and I just found out that my colleague who moved to the US doubled her salary overnight. Same field, same job title, wildly different paycheck. Is it just me or is the UK pay scene stuck in slow motion? 🇬🇧🇺🇸

That's to be expected from what I know. UK/Euro salaries have lagged behind the US for a long time. The tradeoff is you all have functioning governments and reasonably sane societies.

I mean. I'm not sure I would consider it a sane society 🤣

Different locations, even within the U.S., will vary wildly in cost of living. Doubling your salary, but rent, bills, and groceries are also twice the price.

I suppose but the overall picture is still vastly different. It's just a fact that US salaries are waaaay higher than UK

Not just you. The UK salary scene moves like dial-up internet. Same skills, half the pay, and we’re supposed to be grateful for “work-life balance.”

What work-life balance 😭🤣 I haven't really experienced it much

We need higher salaries to offset the cost of health insurance 🙃. Before I lost my job, we were paying $600/month for health insurance. Not including copays and deductibles. If we had opted to get on my husband’s plan after I lost my job, we’d be paying $1300/month for much worse coverage. Or we could pay over $2k/month to keep my plan through COBRA

Hi all, I have about 7 years of professional experience but only one year as a Customer Success Manager. I work on mid market accounts currently. I love my job, but would prefer to support a more robust platform that will allow me to add more value for my customers.

To clarify, I don’t have an offer yet, I’m just looking to make a move.

Thank you!

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be.

Has anyone found a way to automate salary certifications?

We get about 3-5 requests daily to fill out salary certifications for our employees in EMEA.

At the moment, we have to do all of them manually. We open a pdf, then open their employee file and plug away. It's tedious and time-consuming, but the banks I found won't accept an internal salary certification for some reason. They're adamant about using their form. Has anyone come across this?
