My bossasked me to volunteer for a weekend project that is 100% outside of my job description and unpaid. He framed it as a great visibility opportunity with the C-suite, but we all know it’s just because the firm is too cheap to hire a dedicated project manager. In any other industry, this would be a formal request for overtime or a temporary pay bump. I’m trying to set a boundary without becoming the problem child of the department. Is forced volunteerism just an accepted part of climbing the ladder, or am I being exploited?

How does the “visibility” work?
Many companies encourage volunteerism both within and outside of “normal” work hours-weekend is totally voluntary at my firm but many love “their” cause enough they prioritize

If the benefit is clear, the visibility direct, and it maps measurably to a goal…now it’s down to “do you want to”

If something is wonky with the above, demure

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?

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.

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?
