How do you feel about 'exposure' or 'experience' being used as a justification for low pay in this industry, especially for roles like trainers, shift leads, or opening teams? Have you ever said no to that and later felt glad you did?

I haven't been asked that yet and would most certainly say no if I was. "Exposure." Get real. Either pay me more or don't ask.

Oh, it's clearly complete crap, but employers love it. So many people for this trap. Or they accept the bad pay because they feel like they don't have a choice.

I do as well. I have always said I will outwork anyone that you put me into a room with. But that doesn't justify not paying people what they deserve.

Yeah, I’m not a fan, “exposure” doesn’t pay bills, especially for roles with real responsibility. I’ve said no before, and honestly glad I did. It sets the standard that your time and skills are worth more.

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?

Has anyone here renegotiated their salary after a short time being in a role? I accepted a position and I like what I do but I realize that the workload requires a lot to see success and I feel a bit burned out already with my 40 hours/week and occasional extra 30 minutes to an hour a day.

I am stuck between putting in my time and showing my value and asking for an increase to validate doing so to avoid job hopping after a year or so.

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.
