Hello, after doing some research I believe I’m being underpaid. About 4 months ago HR did a market analysis for my role. They bumped my salary for about $2k. I’m a mid-level Executive assistant with 6 years of experience and currently supporting 5 executives at a fortune 50 company. One C level and 4 Vice Presidents. I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.

At a different job I had a customer trying to swindle me in telling me that there was a deal in an item that never had a deal or promotion for sale so he made me scan the item 20 times before believing me. Obviously, he finally let it go but I scan it with an inventory scanner that showed me all of the sale price promotions if there were any

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out? The sheer volume of work is exhausting and I haven’t taken a true vacation as we are a small company so if something urgent comes to my email I feel like I must respond. I was given an additional title and more responsibilities last year as well but only a 3% raise for it.

Hey! Audit manager (exp in Financial

I am a clinical research coordinator working in Austin, Texas. I have my Masters in Cell & Molecular Biology and have a year of laboratory research experience.

I’ve been in my position for 5 months now. I make $27 hourly which amounts to about $51,000 yearly. Am I being under paid? Are all coordinator positions hourly? As a laboratory researcher I was salary :(

How do I go about asking for a raise or should I explore other companies or medical schools that have clinical research?

Friends - comp talk thread. Level, base increase %, promotion % (if applicable), bonus %, go!

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

I’m 3 months into a new job where I work for a global tech company, and I want to ask for a pay review from my manager at the 6 month mark when I pass probation.
I know I’m going above and beyond my responsibilities as I’m not just managing projects, but I’ve also set up a global PMO governance board and have identified gaps within other teams where I’m assisting with the solution.

Is it acceptable for me to be asking this from my manager, and if so how do I raise this?

TGIF. Can I get an Amen?! 🍻🎉

My gf just got a peloton and now she is insufferable. “Peloton” this and “peloton” that. She even said “you can’t sit with me anymore because you don’t have a peloton”. She’s out of control!

Made an "insensitive comment" at the office today. Said, James Bond can't be a woman if James Bond is a guy. Psyching myself for the upcoming HR classes.

First time in NYC at the end of the month (don’t judge me, I know I’ve been trapped in the Midwest far too long 😓)

Looking for suggestions of things to do, places to eat, sights to see, etc. it’s a work trip but it’s light so I should have plenty of time on my hands 🤞🏾

Hi all,

What do you think is a bare minimum CTC required to sustain a good married life considering life in a metro city. I do earn about 15LPA. So how much should. I look for in a guy?

Anyone gone through the CFI’s FMVA certification program? Is it worth it for FDD?

For anyone who was able to make the move from FDD to IB, outside of Compensation, what have you enjoyed more about IB?

What’s your utilization right now?

PwC CMAAS or A&M?

For those in big 4, how much time between accepting an offer and start date have you been able to ask for? Is a month feasible/how should one phrase it? Two weeks just doesn’t feel like enough with this heavy burnout/having to wrap up deals at old firm

Getting a referral from a partner not in a line of service that I'm applying for still has impact? Let's say I'm applying for a tax position but got a referral from an audit partner within the firm.

Valuations or FDD? Trying to decide which team has the best exit opportunities/WLB/interesting work.

Why does PwC CMAAS make so much more than the other AAS groups?

Anyone hear of the firm GHJ? I believe it’s in LA. Thoughts?

So fed up with my practice and not looking to stick around for typical below-market compensation in October.

Which big 4 firms or MM have the best FDD comp. so far? Excl. A&M (I know their comp., over half our practice has quit to go there lol)

I’m trying to get a rotation in FDD but my partner is worried about temporarily losing resources in our advisory practice. So, what are some things I could learn in FDD that I could bring back to the advisory practice that might convince the partner to let me go on rotation?

Has anyone moved from FDD to Strategy? I have an offer for FDD but long term goal is to break into strategy. Don’t want to have to get an MBA unless it’s firm sponsored…and FDD is easier to get in compared to Strategy

Who wants out of FDD? If so, what’s your ideal exit in 2021?

1- grad school (mba/law)
2- IB
3- other finance role (e.g. FP&A)
4- other consulting line
5- turn your hobby into a side business
6- nah, FDD forevs

Any transfer from tax to FDD? How was the learning curve from the transition ? And what were some unforeseen challenges that you didn’t expect?

So I internally transferred from audit to FDD last year but my old audit team still reaches out with questions (especially because it’s busy season now). What do you y’all do in these scenarios?

I’ve spent more time digging through TB/GL lines in FDD (over year experience) than I did in audit…. This is glorified audit

Anyone in FP&A hiring?

Gotta love losing a referral bonus because the person didn’t show up their first day & decided not to quit their old job 🤯
