Anyone else hate banking lingo and make fun of it, but as soon as a discussion starts you say "we dont want to boil the ocean here". Fml. Whats your most despised finance phrase?

I come into the office 7-4 (my manager said this was fine when I started and i stay later if needed for meetings) and my manager comes in 10-6. She has been making a lot of comments about how nice it must be to leave that early and general derogatory comments. What should I do?

Looking to begin a career in Financial or Business Analytics. I am an Economics major that graduated in Dec 2020. Since then I have been an Operations Analyst at a FinTech company. I also have some past experience as an analyst at a small business lending company in college. I have been applying for jobs for the past ~6 months. I have made it to the final round of a few interviews, but have not received any offers. Does anyone have any advice for me? I would greatly appreciate any insight.

(Let’s try again: sorry for repost.) Hi all - I saw a finance role that seems to be a good fit and aligns with my career path. I have 7 yoe in corporate finance, restructuring, management consulting (big 4): very comfortable and confident with fiscal budgeting, forecasting, 3 statement financial modeling. Any Facebook (Meta) finance recruiters or anyone willing to initiate referral? Happy to have a conversation. Thanks!

I accepted my first asset management position as a Market Strategy Associate dedicated to ETFs for a large, global company. I came over from the marketing world. They offered me $80k + annual bonus… i definitely overwork and can confidently say I didn’t know what I was signing up for… YE review went well and my boss was happy with my performance. Can I ask for a raise? Am I being underpaid? Thoughts?

I recently started working as an analyst at a small (<$500m) PE shop out of undergrad (target school, ivy). Can anyone provide context on what salary should look like at this level/size firm? In a HCOL and think I’m underpaid (TC will be ~85k for y1)

Can anyone working at UBS tell me their military time off benefits? Do they offer paid days for military leave throughout the year (and if so how many)? Do they offer deferential pay for extended absences such as deployments? Working with some recruiters right now, but I can’t get a clear answer.
