What is the best way to bring up an interest in getting a promotion? I have been with my company for almost 2 years and am ready for the next level but leadership hasn’t mentioned anything about promos since apparently it’s hard to be promoted here unless we switch teams…

Be direct. Schedule a 1:1 with your manager and say "I want to talk about my path to promotion." Don't hint, don't wait for them to bring it up. Ask specifically what you need to do to get there and get it in writing. If their answer is evasive, the only way to keep moving up might be by changing companies.

Thank you, both!!!

I would ask for a one-on-one with your manager and share your interest in moving up the career path. I always make a point to sit down with my manager, express my goals, and ask what I can do to get there. If you have a good manager, they’ll support you and help guide you.

Thank you!

I’m in the same boat. I’ve raised it with my manager and they’ve exposed me to more things, like managing rotational development people that are only on our team for 6 months, etc. this has given me more management experience but I’m still not sold that it’s going to end in a promotion without me having to look outside of my company.

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
