How to get that raise? 32 years old and still struggling to find a good paying career in my degree field which is design. I have redone my resume numerous times and applied to over +1000 in the last three years and still no luck. Recently, I though I maybe would catch a break after interviewing for a inside position with P&G which paid from $95k to $110k. About 6 days after the interview, got rejected. Anyone else ever been in a similar situation? Feel defeated and dont know how to jump.

Don’t stress, be patient, give it to Jesus! I’ve made to so many final rounds just to get rejected but it’s all apart of your journey. Continue updating your resume, networking, attending virtual/in-person meetups, while learning new skills. I grad with a degree in design but made the switch to a frontend developer. You can too!

Ugh I was applying for a year and finally got something, the market is hard. I’d say keep going, update your resume, connect on LinkedIn with everyone and join job share groups on there, and keep at ir. It’s hard but you’ll find something !

I’ve felt your pain. Maybe consider switching industries to tech if you’re able to, that’s where a lot of the money is nowadays. And make sure to cater your resume as such if possible.

Hey all, Happy Monday. Curious for feedback on how you've seen severance offers approached.

My prior companies have always been what I thought of as average: min of 2 weeks plus extra week for every year for ICs, min of 4 weeks plus extra week for every year for managers, etc. for Directors & beyond.

Current co refuses to offer more than 1-2 weeks, max. I had to go to bat recently for a 3 year + manager level only to get 3 weeks and my leadership team is NOT happy with me.

Thoughts?
