People need to stop asking if they’re underpaid based on superficial stats. How do I know whether or not you’re good?

Sounds like you’re contradicting your initial point there @Huge1 but you’re right. This is what fishbowl is for! Might as well have put on a MAGA hat with that last sentence, though.

No cuz I don’t care to look. Just don’t like the tacked on question, “Am I being underpaid?” Sounds like a desperate grab for justification.

I think it’s a fair question to ask. And I think that’s a big part of what this bowl is for. If you think it’s desperate, don’t read them or just leave the bowl 🤷🏻‍♀️

Okay the maga comment is super insulting and there is absolutely no reason to bring any of that into this conversation.

People may have genuine concerns and curiosity about their pay based on their positions and this specific bowl gives them a way to acknowledge that.

That depends on your political affiliations, sorry you are so offended. But I do agree with you that this is a place for productive discourse. Telling someone to “leave if they don’t like the status quo” is a pretty salty response to a post that you don’t initially agree with, though. Hence the MAGA reference.

Offended because this has absolutely nothing to do with politics.

Apologies for the salty comment. That was a response to your idea that people are desperate for justification.

Earlier this year I was making $75k as an FA and now $90k as an SFA in OC which is pretty much market value (4yrs exp - 2 in B4). I wanted that raise to $90k for a while and now that I have it, I catch myself thinking about wanting more & more money, even though I have more than enough to live out my means. Anyone else think about this often? And how can I stop?
