I was just offered a CUNY role. The title is Higher Education Assistant. According to Glassdoor, the average annual pay for that role is $83,418. However, I was offered $62,500. I requested for the minimum annual salary to be 75k. Does anyone have experience navigating the CUNY system and their pay?

For me, it’s about more than TC. Is the work better? More opportunities for growth? Culture differences? Etc. TC plays a part for sure but I would look at the whole puzzle to determine if it is worth it.
It could literally be the same pay or lower if it’s a company with enough name recognition and I’d still take it. I can’t tell you how many jobs I’ve landed Bc I have a tier 1 level company on my resume for 5 years when I started my career. People literally still talk about it 15 years later “oh, you worked at X...” as if it’s an elite Ivy League education on my resume.
I mean, happiness and culture are important, but I can survive just about anything for 3-5 years if it yields endless returns for the rest of my career.
