One time 10% and parallel trajectory? Sure. 10% then COLAs only (which is what 8-5 gets you)? No way. Gotta get further up the ramp first.

Hoping for an industry offer today *fingers crossed* will be a very small raise over my current salary and 9-5. Only reason I wouldn't accept is I'm thinking about a school too. Either way I'll be out by June

Wake up fishes! The "standard industry 8-5 job" is a myth. Unless you want to go to industry and stamp invoices and then get kicked out after 6 months when the consultants come in looking for efficiency opportunities!

@KMPG3 agree that while most industry jobs aren't 8-5, it's more rare that these folks in middle/back office work past 6 or 6:30pm each night, unless it's bad crunch time. With our jobs, it's so up in the air whether we leave at 6pm or 10pm any given night, that the more consistent schedule is alluring.

Not true K3, especially in Tech. Have many friends making 6 figures who've worked over 45 maybe once in the past year. Still moving up and getting promoted too

@K3 - most banks I've ever consulted or worked in most people were gone by 5 except on the rare occasion.

I've been working here for about two years now, and I have to say, I love my job. The company culture is great and the people are wonderful to work with. But recently, I've noticed that my manager has been asking me to do more and more work on my own without giving me any additional compensation for my time. He just keeps telling me that if I want to get ahead, then this is what I need to do.

I'm not sure what to do here—do you have any advice?
