Need some guidance. I have 6 YOE in finance, have series 7, 63, L&H, but do not have a college degree. I am currently an assistant and make $70k including bonuses. But I really want a work from home job that pays closer to $85k-90. Is this realistic? Am I worth less due to lack of degree? I have an offer on the table to be someone else’s assistant that will pay over $100 after a couple years… but I don’t want to go into an office every day and I would have to for that. Other jobs you recommend?

“Over 100 after a couple of years” sounds iffy. Any chance you could move to a role in your current company where you’re no longer an assistant? Even for a minimal pay raise? Then look to jump ship after 3-6 months for a raise imo would be best case scenario.

I have been interested in one department at our home office that has a role “coming soon”. I guess I’m just getting impatient waiting. They can’t disclose salary info to me yet but looks like it would be in my range. And yes then I could jump ship

Apply to commercial banking roles. At my last bank I saw plenty of people that came from untraditional backgrounds or that moved internally from retail banking or Client Relations etc

I actually had my start in banking and transitioned to an investment firm

I need help figuring out if I’m being underpaid. I’m working in real estate private equity and I focus on fund models and property valuations. I’m currently at base $80k and 20% bonus. On top of that I have 5 years experience and a masters in finance. I’m good at my job and receive positive reviews from everyone. I feel like I should be compensated better but the company says that’s what they think I’m worth. Any help or insights would be great!

Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.
