I’m 23 in my last semester of college and I want a better job. I want more of a corporate or higher paying job but all I’ve been getting is work from home customer service jobs that don’t pay more than 18. Any tips to get into a better paying field?!

What's your degree? Frankly, you have to put in your time at a lower base pay.

Business

Do you have any actual experience? If not, you're probably going to need to start at the lower end and work your way up.

I have some mangegrial experiences but I’ve been doing call centers the past 4 years

When you get your degree you can get higher paying jobs. Besides, you cannot easily land on a higher paying job right of the bat. You have start somewhere at the bottom. Then gradually climbed yourself up the ladder.

I would go for a business degree.

Salary for GM at AM/PM stores

Hi Everyone!

A company has made an offer and I wanted to understand if i'm being made a fool.

The monthly compensation is 1,37,500 (16,50,000 yearly) and Variable component (Bonus) is 1,50,000.

However in the offer it says "You shall be paid an annual compensation of Rs. 16,50,000/- per annum Cost to Company."

Which to me sounds like it doesn't consider 1,50,000 to be a part of CTC which is suspicious to me.

How should I deal with this?

Thank you!

Is this okay?
