I let a relationship wither on the vine in large part due to the time and energy I gave to this industry. I’m old now and married to someone else. But it still makes me sad.

My advice: tell your immediate boss you are taking a long weekend to comp yourself for those weekend days and spend time with your partner/family.

Designer- yes. Definitely yes. I thought they were very unsupportive, sexist (I’m a woman), etc etc. They eventually cheated on me. I blamed them 100% at first and for several years.
But with the hindsight of time, age, experience, I now know it was 50% my fault. I wasn’t present in the relationship the way I should have been. And my career/this industry was a big part of why.

I've been asked to post this in the UK comp bowl.

Our household TC is £225k excluding bonuses (mostly my income). Somehow we manage to save £6k a month after paying our mortgage & bills and then a further £2k into corporate pension schemes.

After a long and extensive interview process (2 months & 12 rounds of interviews) I finally heard back that they are very interested in offering me the job. My Current base is $135k (in NJ) and my ask is $180K (in NYC). But base comp ceiling for the position grade is $165k and they are willing to offer one time payment to make up for the gap between the offer & the ask. Any thoughts? The role has very upward potential in next couple of years.

What are other comp elements I can negotiate? Thx!

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.

Found out I’m making $20k less than someone in same role (share similar experiences and both started over a year ago). Brought this up to my manager who encouraged me to talk to her manager (VP of department) if I felt comfortable. Scheduled a meeting with the VP, brought my facts, and politely asked if I could have a raise. She obliterated me. Said it was disrespectful to come to her and ask such a thing, unacceptable to be talking about salary with others, etc.
