Hello and happy holidays to everyone. Seeking some advice. I feel like my ambitions and vision for my career are larger than the company’s vision for my role. I am underpaid (58k/yr with 9 years exp and a degree). I know the company views my direct reports’ roles as entry level and will not push those roles forward or allow the positions to evolve. However, I try to push mine forward as well to align with my goals, and receive pushback. I’m looking for new role but no luck. What should I do?

May I ask what region you're in? State? I would say this; after 9 years and a degree, you should go us on the scope of the role. Ask yourself, is this the scope you want? Or do you want it to be more? I was in your position 3 years ago, and since, have more than doubled my salary with the help of a great resume writer who helped me ensure I was capturing all of my skills and relevant background.
It sounds like your company has no plans to move you forward so I think it is time to go. Know your value and don't be afraid to jump ship.
You can start by passively looking for a new role and if you find something you like, make a decision. There is no reason in 2022-2023 that you can't find a role that will value your worth. Also if you're open to relocate, that helps A LOT as well.

Keep trying, either in your company or in another one. Don't give up, you have the knowledge and experience to do better. Good luck!

With 9 years of experience I would highly recommend you to start looking for another company that pays what you deserve and lets you grow. There are many job websites or maybe use your contacts to see if any opportunity is available in another company.

Hello, I was wondering about which companies usually hire for entry level ServiceNow role?

I’m currently doing large scale Oracle ERP implementation and I am having difficulty finding companies that hire entry level roles. I switch fields recently so I only have around 9 months of experience and I find that most ServiceNow position requires 2+year in ServiceNow :/

Background - I recently got the Certified System Administrator for SNow, PMP and CSM

Any insight appreciated, thanks!

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
