NYC people, at what point in life did you feel comfortable with your net worth and salary that you didn’t have to hustle as hard? I can’t help but still feel insecure about money but feeling ok about the job.

I’ll go first - 1 mill worth, 240k comp, 33 female. Not a homeowner.

I am not sure the insecurity completely goes away unless we are talking about FU money. Personally, in my early 50s, net worth is over $10M, but I still hustle and work hard, because you never know what life brings and I want to build as big a financial cushion as possible. I would like leave some of the wealth to my kids so they don’t have to hustle as much as their old man did. Maybe that’s the immigrant thinking in me.

I'm only 24 and living in Manhattan on my own so I'm really struggling to save anything. I'm curious to see what other people say because at this point it feels like I'm never going to stop hustling. The job is crazy and I'm having to do a bunch of work on the side just to make ends meet.

Do you make 6 figures?

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both
KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!

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?

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
