Ever thought you found your 'dream job' in healthcare, only to realize the salary is a nightmare? I was so excited about a position, but when I saw the pay, I felt like I’d been hit by a truck! It’s a harsh wake-up call. Have you ever faced a similar disappointment? How do you cope when the dream job doesn’t pay the bills?

Salaries are being pushed downward in this job market, so unwelcome surprises like that may become more common. When you see something like that you just have to accept that it wasn't really your dream job. If it's not a salary you can accept, it's not for you, that's just the reality of it.

I want to move but with salaries and duties I see I feel I'm in a better position in my current role. It's sad with more experience I won't be able to make more.

I’ve had similar experiences too. It’s disappointing when passion doesn’t match pay. I cope by focusing on the positives. Sometimes, I look for side gigs to help. It’s all about finding balance!

Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)
