Unfortunately, I’m in the middle of some office drama/politics. Any advice on staying low and avoid conflict?

I think you’ve given yourself the advice.

Keep your head down;
Stay out of it.

Need to share a bit more for us to help you navigate it beyond generic advice

Try to avoid talking about people behind closed doors. You might think your convos are kept private but word gets around.

Ugh I literally hate being in the middle of any sort of office drama or politics. I have found that when it happens I need to literally fly under the radar for a bit. So I just try not to engage with coworkers too much and I go to work, get my job done, and then leave. I let it kind of blow over before peeking my head out of my little hole again hahahah.

Just try to ignore it and avoid talking about it it someone brings it up

I need help figuring out if I’m being underpaid. I’m working in real estate private equity and I focus on fund models and property valuations. I’m currently at base $80k and 20% bonus. On top of that I have 5 years experience and a masters in finance. I’m good at my job and receive positive reviews from everyone. I feel like I should be compensated better but the company says that’s what they think I’m worth. Any help or insights would be great!
