Not sure if I've done something wrong, help needed. I've had a mentor at the company for two years and I think she's great, she's a senior investment manager for the company and someone I really respect. Lately things have gotten a little weird. I mentioned several times that this year I'm hoping to be made a relationship manager and every time I have she either gets very quiet or changes the subject. Does she somehow know I won't be promoted? What is happening?

If you can, I would honestly untangle yourself from your mentor. While having a mentor at the company you work at can be great, you also often run into situations like this. Chances are she either doesn't want you to be promoted for whatever reason, or she's spoken about it with other higher ups. Unfortunately internal mentorships often go this way, I feel like especially between women. :/

Or she can’t? Large companies have complex networks, she maybe a mentor but doesn’t have the political capital to move the needle.

Hello all,

I had a quick question

Had a call with audit leaders last week and were told that they haven't finalized the office building and they will get possession of the new building in Pune only by Jan 2023.

Currently they just have the ITS with the seating capacity of 30 people.

Now for audit they want us to go to office 2 days every week. How are we supposed to do that when they don't even have an office? But they are still adamant to get us back to office location by June 1.

After reading a few posts, I think Im in the category of being underpaid. I work directly with one advisor. Fully life and securities licensed with series 7. I’ve worked along side the FA for over 6 years now. I do everything from processing biz to handling clients. Other FA on our team come to me for help even though I don’t answer to them. The only thing I don’t do is bring on new clients. I get a base of $45k, 1099inc of 20k, plus about 7k that goes into a WL plan but counted a 1099 inc.
