What salary advice do you think is appropriate to ask your mentor? I am genuinely curious where my mentor stands in terms of salary but don’t want to be invasive. What questions could I ask instead to get a feeler for where management usually stands salary-wise?

ask about bonus, promotion, merit increase, inflation adjustments etc

Something along the lines of asking them what a realistic range is for the experience. Are you trying to find out how much they make or what is reasonable for you? Being polite goes a long way, but also understanding it’s not an obligation to say.

Just what is reasonable going up the ladder!!

You definitely can’t just come out and ask how much your mentor makes. But you can ask about salary and how it grows with experience—more like a ‘what should I expect as I move up the career path?’ kind of question.

I like how this is framed!!!
