GTMO Ops Band 5 check-in. Currently at $84k base with a minimal $2k bonus. Feels low for the workload and AVP title on the internal track, but wanted to check reality. What are other Ops Consultants / Specialists seeing for total comp right now?

If you work for BAC, the answer is, go slow. Slow down your work, slow down completion times, slow down responses, even if it's an hour.
@ry that is INSANE! How did you manage 90 on a B6????
@12w or learn the art of a-s-kisser, brown-noser, su-k-up, sycophant, toady, yes-man, to your boss and people-pleaser

@10v cfp will only talk expenses.. listen to it when earnings are out
You’ve written it perfectly. This is your time to pass into legend. Ask it. And may God be with you.
Wouldn't it be great if someone took one for the team and asked that question or something similar in the earnings town hall? Something like:
"Given our strong financial performance and record revenue, our commitment to responsible growth is clearly succeeding. However, current merit increases—often capped at 1% to 3% for top performers—do not seem to reflect this level of achievement, especially when compared to executive compensation growth. How is leadership planning to better align employee compensation with the company's success to ensure we retain top talent and continue delivering strong results for our shareholders?"
What is the cap amount for an IC B4 in NY, Chicago, Boston areas
I’m trying to understand why salary increases at the bank have remained in the 1–2% range since COVID, particularly given the bank’s strong financial performance. What factors are driving these decisions, and why hasn’t that success translated into more meaningful salary growth for employees?
Here I am working long hours/weekends, picking up slack of co-workers who are either on vacation or sick days. I don't even know how many sick days/vacation days they have.
it is becoming really frustrating. Exceeds and 1.2% raise. Crazy!!!
@wd you are getting paid lot less
B4 CLT. $165k base, $10k bonus.
@s5 I agree with you. Could you name some other banks that offer better pay? Also, why do the bonus figures vary so much within the same band and why do lower bands get smaller bonuses, often only four-digit amounts? what’s the logic behind that?
B3 CLT. $235k base, $45k bonus. Most of us are way underpaid relative to other banks.
B6 ops analyst 90k

@ag what LOB ?
I have B6's that report to me making up to $125k.
Before we start comparing apples to oranges, it’s important to know which state you’re in. Comparing a Band 5 FL global Ops role to a Band 5 NY global tech role will not help you in determining if you’re under paid.
I can say this, you will more than likely have to leave the bank to get higher pay then come back. Or you will have to switch roles and move into a different org then negotiate your salary.
That is low for a B5. I started at 103k at B5 10 years ago. You deserve more!
B6 as an ops analyst making 83k
ouch. They saw you coming. I bet the HR rep got a bonus after you accepted that. I am a lead (B5) at $190k base and I believe my manager (a B4) is at $240k base. My staff range from $110k to $140k, mix of AVP, VP and contractors.
@OP Pathetic as a waste of breath discussing it with my manager. Sorry to state but I have better odds getting the Pneumonic Plague.
