Interviewed at a well known company and they asked me to do a project. Was initially excited since I’ve had an interview with the recruiter, part of design team, and this will get me a final interview. However they already let me know I wouldn’t make more than I make now. It would require a move out of state, like 4k to break my lease, and I’m starting to feel like this was a mistake. How would you handle this? The project will take up my weekend and I am feeling better about my current role..😬

Are they that firm on the salary? Yikes. Free projects are a red flag. Anything beyond an hour or two should be billed as consulting. They don't seem to value you. I'd walk.

Same for me, I've been in UX design for almost a decade and have had to do this a few times. When I was starting out, experienced designers warned me that some companies use this as a way to extract free labor - e.g., post a job focused on accessibilty design, get 3 or 4 candidates to work on your problem, then ghost them and keep their ideas. Not sure how textile companies do theirs.

I've been a dental assistant for 11 years , and I think I'm done . I feel the pay is never enough and 9/10 we do the most work in the office . It's never commensurate to what we do and no matter how much experience you have your still 3-5$ more than someone fresh out of school . It's a skill I'm glad to know that I can always find work but the burnout for nothing isn't worth it. Can anyone relate

Hello, I am a junior business administrator working in advisory operations. I have been with the company for 6 months, and was employed along with 2 other colleagues. I have picked the job up really fast and am even doing some “extra curricula’s” I really love my job. However I have recently found out I am being paid the same as an apprentice on my team, I usually do at 3 x the work he does whilst also doing my Cert CII. It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.
