Simply just curious, but do you think it’s okay for colleagues to discuss salary or is that too personal? And if asked, would you disclose your salary or no?

Of course, discussions are good. Otherwise you'll have more biased pay situations and discussions will help avoid this. Although, some employees may come to find out they are underpaid due to their poor performance or just others performing extremely well. Transparency is key

Not discussing salary only helps management. The more information you have the better when you negotiate, so it’s best to share salary info with your peers. Corporations and partners profit off people thinking they shouldn’t discuss salaries!!

We discuss salaries in general but i’ve never told anyone my actual salary or asked someone theirs.

It varies person to person, and who I’m talking to

It’s legit not too hard to figure someone’s salary it’s pretty standard in public

Not as standard as you’d think

I told a friend at my last firm. We were both paid the same (different service lines).

Nope- too personal. I do not disclose my salary to co-workers.

Too personal because they identify themselves based on their job and salary. Crowe 1 - you are bigger than your job or salary!

No, my opinion is that it usually will lead to resentment on one side or the other unless you both make the same amount. However, some are less sensitive to this than others so to each their own.

Curious what others think about this: a friend of mine has a couple of months of leave this fall to study for the CPA exam (they’ll be paid a reduced salary during their leave), but they mentioned they have no intention of studying for the exam, and instead plan to use that time to look for another job.

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k
