Hello, I have an offer from Publicis Sapient for their product management internship program. Wondering if anyone has any insight into the program (exits, etc) and how the return offer looks like in terms of salary. I still also hold an interest in data science so might go with another offer but I’m not sure if it is a wise choice to let go of a PM offer while I have it.
Will EY announce raises soon?

I've been an LPN for 31 years. I graduated from a two year program, which is no longer in existence. I'm not, by any means down playing RNs. Some of them have experience in things I'm not familiar with. With that being said, I know my worth and what I bring to the table, as far as my knowledge is concerned. I expect to get paid and get raises accordingly. To say that it shouldn't be expected or allude to the fact that our skills are of any less value is a slap in the face.
I completely agree!
Call HR, and ask when was the market analysis for LVNs...if they say more than 5 yrs, then e-mail a formal request asking for a market analysis. If you can find job postings in your area that list salaries, you can include that in your e-mail. If no postings, you can use US Bureau of Labor and Statistics to look up salaries in your area, although it's sometimes inaccurate. https://www.bls.gov/oes/
It is unfair, and I'm sorry this is happening to you. Truly, the only way to get a substantial increase is to change jobs, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Good luck.
Thank you for your help
It's totally unfair, and to be honest I've never really understood the difference between LPNs and RNs... is it an education/training thing? Could you switch if you wanted to? From my experience it definitely feels like RNs get more respect than LPNs.. I really don't understand it though
I read the comment below and am also an LPN of 31 years. I agree that RNs are more valued than
LPNs and I understand what the context of the comment is. But I also think that if a company decides to hire any LPNs they need to be treated as valued team members. That is my point. I respect the RN discipline and their education and understand they have a larger scope of practice and responsibility. I still want to finish the education I never was able to obtain due to life circumstances and know I will feel a lot more accomplished and valued once it happens. But I urge all disci
While I can’t speak with certainty to the reason behind this, I think it is likely due to the standards and procedures your employer practices for awarding raises and promotions. And while you may feel that your roles are equal in terms of tasks and responsibilities, this may not be completely accurate, even if it seems as though or in fact there is overlap. Whatever the case may be, there are other differences between the two that of course factor into things, education and training requirements being one of the biggest.
Similarities and differences seem to be beside the point and don’t explain why one role would be eligible for a raise/promotion and not another. I would request the details and requirements related to eligibility for your role directly from your employer.
Wow I am so sorry to hear that OP. Have you talked to your manager about a raise and asked for one directly? If they aren't going to give you raises then I would definitely be looking for a new job because not every place does that. I don't blame you for feeling the way you do..

Definitely sounds unfair. What's the main difference in your titles?
. Im an LPN they are RNs. The RNs are not in a higher position
