Does anyone else start feeling insecure after a recruiter hits them up for a garbage job with a garbage salary? Like I know it’s nothing personal but it’s almost like...is that all I’m worth?

Don’t worry about it. Garbage salary means lower commission means the recruiter is most likely not deeply investigating portfolios etc. and is instead just hitting up as many people as they can to find anyone interested.

YES, completely related. But it will get better. You know your worth and as long as you believe in yourself, screw the recruiter. A recruiter told me once that I’m a account manager at best with my experience and would be lucky to clear 80K a year. I landed my current gig a month later at double that salary. Just keep it up!

No, it’s offensive though

It’s called being female.

Uh, ACD1, no it's not.

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
