Yesterday at our office party, I met colleagues who have spent 25 years with the same company. It made me wonder: is long-term loyalty really worth it today? Does staying bring growth, respect, and fair rewards, or do changes offer better learning and pay? Curious to hear your experiences and thoughts in today’s evolving workplaces, especially across different roles, industries, and generations today globally.

You are not getting better pay by staying.

But likely lower stress.

Also think how even the same job changed over those 25 years.

Yeah its very hard to choice one think between mental health and good incomes

Loyalty can pay off but it's dependent on luck. Luck of an opening above you that the firm doesn't want to fill means an easy promotion. But the flip side is true too.

Def lower stress and likely lower pay. Its really just dependent on luck. Is the industry growing? Is your business doing well? Is there upward mobility due to growth or departures?

Yeah luck is very important

Staying at a company that long used to be something people really aspired to. I had relatives who were proud to have 20-year pins and rings and such. In today's world loyalty has been devalued, organizations and individuals never seem to feel much of it. And it's just true that the only way to really get a raise is to move on to another organization. It would be nice if loyalty made a return, but the system is just geared against it, tbh.

In past loyalty matter in present i don’t think so

I’ll gladly stick around a company until retirement. All the job hunting and changes aren’t something I like. Not to say I’d never consider one, it would just have to be a substantial increase.

Best of luck

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. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. 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.

I have an offer and want to negotiate

1. London base salary but I have to absorb all the expenses (train + stay)
I am thinking to negotiate to

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.

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.
