My manager discussed my promotion for the next financial year, but it comes with a transfer to a location very far from my city. He said he will try to move me back when any vacancy opens, but there is no clear time frame. I’m confused whether I should accept the promotion or stay here. What would you guys do in this situation?

I’m not sure… it depends on where I’m moving to… if it’s to Des Moines, probably not… if it’s to Denver, maybe… we recently relocated in 2021 to the DFW/Plano area from the NYC Metro… it’s been great… love it here and we have no plans to go back…

You’d might be surprised… accepting the promotion and transfer might end up being the best thing to ever happen to you…

I would never accept a location transfer with vague promises of future relocation. That kind of thing always gets sidelined indefinitely while you're left waiting for months and months, potentially years. I wouldn't do it unless I could get a very clear, written timeframe.

Thanks for your advise

Do they not offer a remote option?

Unfortunately this option not available

Is it a big jump in salary? I don't know that I would want to do that. Would you have to move or commute back and forth?

Its normal increment as per HR Policy

It depends on where it would be and if it fits with your lifestyle. I would also make sure there’s a moving stipend otherwise I don’t think I’d take it

I dnt think so this move good for my work life balance

For all you retail people...are you experiencing a very slow holiday season? I am a retail manager and I feel like this season has been freakishly slow. I thought we would at least match last year's number or be up a little bit but we are trending down. I talked to employees of other stores in the mall and they are saying the same thing. Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?

Going through a rough patch, mental-health wise. I have always been a high performer and dont back down from challenges. But this past month something feels off in my head and I have 0% motivation for anything at the moment. Brief run down: work-stress, meeting expectations, fear of failure, imposter-syndrome, negative self-image (probably from all the time I spend on IG… might need therapy. 🥲
I don’t know what went wrong, but I don’t think I’m the only one to have felt this. Sorry for the sads!

What would you do?
My company contracts a web developer, we have a set amount of hours for the quarter and pay over if more work is needed.
He never gets anything done. Doesn’t answer emails half the time. The one thing he’s done was take out a blurb that threatened our eligibility for patent renewal.
We have another company taking over in January, but I still have some pretty important dev needs until then and I can’t get him to do a thing. I truly try to give him all he needs.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

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.

User experience mgr salary? I support six product teams and eight reports. 20+ years experience

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?
