I’ve interviewed for several positions AVP and VP roles since October of ‘21 internally with Citi. Didn’t take any of them because it would have been only $8k - $11k salary bumps. For double or even triple the work. So I’m leaving to go from $70k to $235k in September at a competing firm for a VP level role. The moral of the story: hop if you need to. No reason to stick around for low pay and not being compensated fairly by the company that expects “loyalty” from you.

Good for you, OP! Congrats! 🎊

Help in terms of how much a position is worth so you’re not getting low balled.

Congrats! That’s a major pay increase. Were you already at a senior level in your FA role ?? And how long have you had your MBA? I got accepted in the MBA program at a great school but I don’t feel too certain anymore until I find another job that’s sees my worth.

I've got 15+ years and work in wealth management (non sales basked) only making under 70k and have an MBA. I feel like loyalty hasn't gotten me anywhere I've asked for opportunities in management and never had 1 bad review in all my years.

I've been applying for a while to other companies and haven't had much success how did you manage a job transition like that? Did you use a recruiter or head hunter? I can't seem to find one in so cal that can take anyone on....

Wow. That is seriously amazing. Thank you for sharing this.

I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?

Can anyone help me wrap my head around this post Series C start-up equity offer? It’s an IP director position, the the base is $170 with 10% bonus (both lower than I was expecting). There’s also an equity component: 0.15% of current fully diluted equity. This equates to about 30000 shares at a strike price of $2. They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.
