      Hell, what's there to be afraid of? I moved countries for a better job offer . That's the attitude I go with: Pay me for what I'm worth, or watch me say goodbye. Glad to see that I'm not just the designated A*hole for breaking the "Company Loyalty", but just someone who is more interested in looking after it's own self. Thank you for sharing, great advice as always :)

      I work at a Bank as well, i left a comment on what i am currently doing. Please check it out.
      I think you should make a Video about that subject and HOW people can increase their own Monthly income to get ahead in life. Corporations don’t care about their employees as much as people think….. i have been subject to laid offs before in another Bank. They don’t care how good you are. They will drop you like a fly.
      I think people need to stop being frustrated over not getting a raise or being recognized by Corporations that never really cared in the first place. Some people get stuck in life waiting for a New position to open to earn more money.
      I started my Investment portfolio to complement my Monthly salary and increase my income on my own. I no longer wait for anyone else. I think people need to learn this cuz these companies don’t care about your future plans in life.

    I stayed with my last company for 18 years and it was a constant battle to be paid fairly. Despite being one of the most experienced team members I often learnt new starters were paid more then me and I had to train them! My advice to anyone now is to talk to your colleagues about salaries to ensure you’re paid in line with them and move jobs, it’s by far the best way to earn more and of course gain more experience. Regardless of how many times a company or manager tells you you’re valuable, an asset and all that fluffy rubbish, in reality you are a number on a balance sheet (a cost), and they’ll shaft you if they can.

      I had the same situation.. I was recently laid off/fired/quit (super weird situation), it became toxic, but this taught me so much.
      dont stay at a job without either money or learning, dont stay in a place that cant give you what you want (money/title/tuition/XP), dont just go the paycheck route, be active in your career, dont get stuck.
      And the main one - its only your responsibility to find what is best for you and fight for your title and compensation.

    This is such an excellent advice! And I love that you’re transparent with your experiences. I work at a bank as well and see first hand how switching organizations can bump your salary significantly.
    Although I’ve had opportunities to switch and probably make more, I’ve stuck with my bank for reasons other than money (work life balance and career progression, among others).
    Another advice I would give is never stop learning and enhancing your skill set.

Previously the salary in my old job was the same for everyone but increased each year for 10 years unless you got promoted. It’s been uncomfortable asking for more in my new field but I’ve justified it and thanks to your content found it much easier this year. Thank you Nischa.

I was part of a graduate scheme and we all talked about money with each other which I think really helped as we started to get paid differently. Now, a lot of us work at different companies and share our salaries still and it's a good indicator of how well you're being compensated, and allows you to consider would you be better off moving somewhere else. I currently work somewhere that doesn't pay as much as I know I could get, but I've stayed for the culture and the work life balance.

    Salary transparency is something which needs addressing in the UK workplace. On an induction at an early job in architecture, I was actually told it was forbidden to discuss salary with colleagues! There’s so much discrimination in workplace pay because of it, and people are not taught how to negotiate being paid their worth, or even realise their own worth because of it.
    Hopefully things will improve as people become more open about discussing this topic. Thanks again!

It’s definitely also worth moving around - either within the organization (if it’s a large one) or to a completely different organization. You can command far greater earnings this way, and this things have tremendous impact on your long-term financial health and career progression.

    I also did a grad scheme and worked in banking for a while before moving to fintechs whilst negotiating higher salaries! 🙌🏾 It seems like your skill set is appreciated more externally than internally - especially when you know how to market yourself!

    I think it's great you are willing to be so transparent. I don't really have an issue, in general, with discussing how much I make with anyone, however, I do consider the context in which that information is being asked about or if I will be willing to share, (as in, what are you going to do with that information).
    On another note, just stumbled upon your videos today, subscribed and have been watching more than a few. I'll say "great content" for the following reasons; great value in the information shared, well produced, engaging, your authenticity, and maybe the best part, motivating!

    Very well done, Nischa and equally well explained. I am 62 and retired now and circumstances back then were not directly comparable, but the main point is that you need to find someone to discuss such topics with openly - as counterintuitive this may seem.
    I would also like to mention that your authenticity struck me most - it follows that if you tried to hold back it wouldn't play out as well for you and on the other hand that you will always be strong enough to handle any issues that arise from your decision to open up.

    Wow, thank you for your incredible transparency and sharing your journey as a banker. It takes courage to open up about such a personal aspect of your career. Your willingness to share your salary is not only refreshing but also empowering. It allows aspiring individuals, like myself, to gain a deeper understanding of the financial landscape in the banking industry and the potential for growth.
    This revelation sparks thought-provoking questions about financial fulfillment and success. What metrics should we use to define our own financial goals and measure our progress? How can we strike a balance between pursuing a rewarding career and maintaining a fulfilling personal life?
    I'm eager to learn more about the lessons you've gained throughout your journey and the insights you can offer to those of us aspiring to excel in the world of finance.
    Thank you for your transparency and for being a source of inspiration. Your openness encourages us to have honest conversations about money, career choices, and achieving our financial goals. I'm excited to continue following your journey and learn from your expertise.

    Excellent information. I’m now retired (75 years old) and can say your experiences and advice are spot on. I began my career at a regional CPA (chartered Accountants) in San Francisco, CA, as a staff accountant in the tax department. Few of us would discuss compensation other than to say “if you don’t ask, you don’t get”. Knowing the total compensation package is, of course, necessary to evaluate the wisdom of a move. Other factors such as potential for advancement, broadening of experience and just a better “cultural “ fit, to name a few, are more difficult to measure but certainly factor into any decision.

    Thank you for sharing your journey! It can be hard to open up to potential judgment, but the best thing that ever happened to my compensation progression was hearing from other professionals about what they make.
    My salary numbers as a US-based software engineer (not in silicon valley) roughly match yours, though we don't get large bonuses unless we're in HFT or similar. I nearly doubled my compensation in my first 4-5 years, and that never would have happened without jumping jobs.
    Of particular note, at least in my profession, is that you have to settle down for a bit when you want to transition to more senior levels and focus on larger-scale accomplishments over longer time frames.

    • @halfbakedproductions7887

      The highest paid technical IT job I ever personally saw in the UK was a C++ developer, doing HFT systems in the London finance world.
      Basic salary was something like £600k (~$770k) with an On Target Bonus of up to something like 20%. You also got 10% pension contributions, shares, and the other gamut of standard benefits.
      I'd say that role and such high standards would mean only a near-enough literal genius would ever be hired. I'm 36 and if I was able to do that job for just four years and save/invest wisely, I'd probably retire from the tech world entirely.

    Having been a medical doctor in the NHS since 2020, I can't even begin to imagine receiving these sorts of numbers, especially for the hours and lifestyle of a trainee, and it genuinely has me wondering whether I should enter a field such as finance and go back into education for it.

I agree to all your points about moving across different areas within the bank to switching the jobs - since not only it benefits money wise but also helps you to growth (work on different projects). However there is a flip side where working on same division/dept sometimes help you to climb corporate ladder and eventually higher pay.

    Great video and tremendous props for revealing your true salary. There's definitely something to be said about not being afraid to move companies, as you can get too comfortable. I started as an apprentice at one company and an employee told me at the time that as you start as a junior, you'll always been seen as a junior and that has always stayed with me. You have to move around to find the correct lifestyle for you and whilst not being cocky it's also important to know your worth! Loyalty works both ways and all too often employers take advantage of their employees not realising or are being naive to the real competitive salaries being offering elsewhere. So it does pay to have your wits about you and know your worth / market rate etc.
