If you hate your job/boss/situation… leave. Seriously.

This time last year I was underpaid at a job that worked me to death and underpaid me. My boss was absent. Literally not a single person even acknowledged or spoke to me on my bday. So I got sick of being lonely and taken for granted and left.

Today I get paid over $20k more than I did at my last job, just got a generous bonus, and my boss and coworkers just reached out to take me to lunch to celebrate my bday. It feels really nice…

Can you offer more here? I'm in a really bad situation but I'm very afraid of walking away and not having another job... I'm older/more senior so it's not so easy to just pick up another job.

Did you just quit without having the other job? Cause for many folks it's not that simple...

I just did that myself without anything lined up. I know it always works out. I had to put myself first.

For less fortunate/entitled folks, putting yourself first means staying at that job until you have something else lined up. The alternative is not having food to eat or a place to live.

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K. I’m located in NY so the recruiter said he would try to get me more. Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
