Need advice. I accepted a job offer for a significantly lower pay than my previous job but after 3 months of searching, I didn’t want to lose this opportunity. I have an interview tomorrow with another company for a role with higher pay and shorter commute. If I get an offer from this 2nd company, how do I handle the situation with the 1st company? I’m really anxious about this. This job search has been tough after being with my last company for 15 years.

You are deisplaying your real name. That's aside - if you get a better offer you want to take you do just that. It's just business.

After a final interview, how many days after can I expect an answer from the recruiter?

At the end of the interview, the person told me I passed the interview and they were going to talk to the Director who’s a level under them. It’s a yes for them and they’re happy to work with me.

I also sent my references. I don’t know when I can expect an reply. Recruiters from that company aren’t really organised

Need advice: do you tell your manager that you’re unhappy or do you just leave?

I’m being taken advantage of with being thrown so much work and really don’t see my salary increasing to be in line with my coworkers doing similar work. I’m a consistent high performer - management reviews tell me that much.

My coworker did mention to the manager that they’re not being paid well for the work they do, and our manager took it personally and told them they’re ungrateful 🥲
