I've been working in a small business here in houston,tx as a computer technician / help desk support etc. I got hired from the Philippines and got a working visa.. on the contract they pay me $25 an hour but in reality it is just $17 i have no choice because I'm already here in Texas...

The problem is the owner of the company has toxic vibes... Even checking your phone for emails or text messages he keeps ranting... I wonder why my workmates stayed for 20 years on the business.. 🤣🤣

They are probably taking out taxes and any benefits etc. that is pretty normal unless it's a true independent contractor role where you have to pay the taxes yourself later.

50k is about the right rate for a help desk technician, I've seen less but that shouldn't be the case in today's environment. I would pursue some certs to move up Into a system administrator role junior position which normally start at 60k.

I heard that internal candidates have much lower salary ranges for promotions / transferring teams. So much so that some people will leave the company a year just to come back to a more competitive offer.

Hi everybody,

Looking for some insight/curious to hear how others would handle this situation:

I have an offer I want to accept; I was trying to negotiate for a signing bonus… but they’re not budging.

The issue is, the start date is in a month and I’m up for a promotion in a week at my current company. I would like to leave before I get promoted, I think it would be pretty low of me to accept and promptly quit.

Not the new employer’s problem? Or can/should I try to leverage this?

Currently I work for a mid-sized InsureTech that’s had 2 rounds of layoffs in the past 6 months. Salary is 100k, with no defined bonus. I have close to 4 years of PO experience.
