JPMorgan Chase recently introduced a policy change to increase the notice period to 60 days. I'm a 602 and resigned recently and yet my LWD is showing up as 30 days from now. Anyone recently resigned can confirm if they are facing the same or new policy is in effect. This is causing confusion with the next companies I'm interviewing with.

Hi Everyone, I am trying to apply for a Technical Support role at Dropbox I’m entering all the required fields but there seems to be an issue, when I hit submit after filling the form, it doesn’t submit and throws error ‘Looks like you left this blank! Please fill out this required field’ when all the fields are entered already (I have checked so many times, and filled the form from scratch several times too). Anyone from Dropbox who can put me in touch with HR or suggest what I should do next?

It depends on what is importation you. If you are struggling to make ends meet then you have two options 1) Express to your manager that you are happy working at the company, your enjoy the job and your team but that based on your research you believe you are far below the apart band for your experience whether there is any flexibility in the review or your salary within your band. The second option is to explore what else is out there and do light touch interviews with recruiters and tell them your salary expectation and see if they align with market value. I would definitely try option one with hard data before exploring option 2. Whilst it’s important that you enjoy your work and team, it is wise to balance this with the fact that gone are the days when people are loyal to any employers (not saying don’t do a good job) but just be mindful that if there is layoff employers will not consider your bills they will let you go. You decide what is best for you, whilst some people may say money isn’t everything and a good working environment is more important you have to decide if you are finally stretched all because you have never asked. If they refuse then you have information to decided your next step. Good luck!!

This is great and with lots of thought and detail. Thanks for sharing.
Look for a new job offer. Ask for a raise at the current position. If not approved, jump ship.
Sorry you will have to pick at this point. Maybe with change you will find both

I'd stay — for now. Good team, supportive manager, and work I actually enjoy is rare, and it's worth a real premium. But I'm not naive about it either. If the gap gets big enough, or stays open long enough, loyalty doesn't pay the mortgage. My tipping point isn't a number so much as a feeling: the day I start dreading Mondays because of the paycheck instead of the work, that's when I'll start looking.
Bingo.

That's the catch 😄
I used to be in this same situation, but one thing I never asked myself was how easily disposable am I?
I was congratulated by everyone even the CEO. But when I asked for a raise, they told me they couldn't do higher than 3%, which wasn't the agreement before I started and few months later, I got laid off.
If you're making a decent amount and see a long term future there, then stick to it because the market is rough.
As it is tough to get a job these days your employer may have the leverage for point 1. The only way to make them give you higher is when you say is I have this offer can you match it.

Personally I rate my happiness of day to day life, sometimes the extra money can help you achieve more happiness outside of work. It's definitely a balance.
Low salary makes me answer the phone more when recruiters call
Enjoy the time with your team but know that teams change. Managers change, team members move on, re-orgs happen. Use that mental model to improve your soft skills: network, promote your accomplishments, speak up.
If you can afford it, keep the peace of mind. It's worth much gold.
