Would you prefer an unlimited PTO policy or an X number amount of days I feel like with unlimited PTO your employers just gonna reject everything unless you’re dying.

I have heard that unlimited PTO is a scam from everyone I know that has worked for a company with unlimited PTO. I would much prefer to have a certain number of days than never be able to get my time off approved. It sounds great in theory but it is rarely "unlimited."

I'd rather just know how many days I have and take them as I always have. The unlimited part sounds good, but I'm naturally skeptical of it. I've heard people say getting the ostensibly unlimited time approved is a hassle and not worth the anxiety.

I prefer accrued. If unlimited, I would feel kind of reluctant to take more.

100% certain number of days. My husband has unlimited PTO and it’s always a big deal to ask off. I have a certain number of days and can pretty much take off when I want without questions asked. I’m thankful I have a fairly generous number of days off though

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

I have an offer and want to negotiate

2. home base salary and have my expenses paid for

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade.

I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.
