Can’t speak for finance, but consulting is all based on tiers, and ATL is about 2 tiers down from NYC so you’re looking around ~20% less pay, but COL is so low you can still live like a king

It’s been 18 month since my firm forced promotion or severance on to us as they eliminated my position. They promised an increase in commission based pay at the end of the licensing period. Its been 2 months (6 pay periods) since I completed this and no change. They say they are waiting for the licenses to post officially, but have all the evidence that I’ve passed. Should I demand back pay for the last 2 months they’ve been paying me as an unlicensed banker while I’m actually licensed?
