I've had nearly three years experience in client services and financial advisory services in a call center. I generally like my job and am good at it. However, being in introvert, speaking to people on the phones for 7 hours straight every day has become mentally taxing.
What are some other positions in finance that don't require to be client facing all the time? Maybe an analyst role? I'm pretty good with math and communication, but I didn't go to a target school.

I felt the same way when I was client facing. Highly recommend compliance/regulatory supervision as another path.

That's hard since TIAA is mostly client facing. Maybe an accounting or communications role?

I’ve built a reputation I’m proud of @ my company. I’m underpaid for what I do (started as an intern) & recently asked for a market adjustment. Management acknowledged that I’m undervalued & plans to set me up for a promotion. It’d come with more responsibility, which doesn’t align with my goals.

Is it wise for me to remain open to a promotion just for increased pay? Or should I be transparent with management about my goals (& possibly not get the pay I’m asking for)? Or any other tips?
