Looking for feedback on salary. I work in wealth management doing mainly financial planning. Just negotiated a raise to 160k, but I finish the work day early (4pm) due to kids after school activities and that has kept me from advocating for myself salary wise. I feel guilty even though I’m the first one in the office/ logged in remote most days. Basically looking for any insight on work life balance while still pushing for higher comp

I think the first balance is within yourself as forgiveness. It doesn’t matter how much money you make, you’re still allowed to have boundaries between work and personal. Your comp is your value based on your performance, not how much time you put in. Think about it, if you make 20% higher salary than your peers but work 20% more hours, you’re making the same or less per hour than they do.

That's a great salary, do you mind sharing the name of your company or your location? I wouldn't feel guilty if you're getting all the work done. If anything, you having a great schedule while completing all your tasks means you're a very efficient employee. A good firm should recognize that.

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.
