Some of the white generational wealth I've seen as a financial advisor is actually scary. It's laughable that we expect people without that privilege to ever achieve success in the same ways and to the same degree. Chances are even if you do, you'll have had to work harder in your life than they ever have. Lowkey kind of makes me sick to my stomach.

Mostly people setting up funds and investments for kids who (if they don't want to) will never work a day in their lives and then will run for public office off the donations of their parent's even richer and more well connected friends.

Worry about yourself. Focus on your prize! Not other’s.

It definitely makes me angry and frustrated to see such a large discrepancy in wealth between different generations. It's unfair and unjust, and it's something that needs to change. We need to create a society where everyone has an opportunity to achieve success, regardless of their background or privilege.

Yep, it's a constant reminder in my field...that's why I don't think I'm gonna stick around long. Just gotta focus on building up my wealth to ensure my future generations are set - gotta continue the cycle lol!

I find this unfair. The fact that they don't even know how to value those things really triggers me. Well, I got bills to pay so I still need to work hard. Lol

I'm in the final round of interviews for two internal positions - both vertical. One has FTE's (my first such experience) and the other a much broader scope vs my current role

I had interviewed externally for a role on par w the internal roles, at a smaller and less established company. They confirmed +20% was in their range

How do I push back on my company if they offer less than that, if I do want one of those roles? Without a pay scale, what is the best way to approach?
