Wondering if there's any tips out there for attaining a significant pay jump/career move. Been in retail banking for years, teller up to branch manager. Pandemic hit and that was the exit sign for me. Found this current position within my company and took it bc it's wfh and touches on a piece of what I like which is aml and risk. But the pay is just not there, I'm struggling to pay bills. I know I'm worth so much more but I have not been able to figure out how to get from point A to point B.

Change companies..i was in the same position last year. New hires with no experience making more than me, although I was there for over 4 years. Now I increased my salary by $38k

smart

Kyc specialist could be a decent pivot for trade compliance or commercial loan ops. I had a buddy who worked trade compliance and she made 6 figures after only a few years. Unsure about loan ops but I can't imagine it would be much different in the early stages, with my understanding that later stages have a higher earnings potential than compliance

You're in retail banking. Find a similar role but in corporate banking. You'll get an instant pay rise for doing the same job.

The only option I could think of is to switch companies. For sure there are other companies that can pay you a higher salary. I suggest you start applying now. Best of luck!

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
