just be super confident in yourself

List the skills you have acquired that evidence your worthiness to transition into a more professional role. When interviewed, don’t undermine, dismiss or minimise the groundwork and value in an entry-level role. So try strike the balance between humility/being teachable and your confidence in what you have gained at the bottom which outline the strengths, skills and experience that you have gained, which you bring and will contribute to the level in your career. All the best.

An entry level job is the term typically given to someone's first job in their career path. It IS a professional job. You move up through the ranks as you gain additional experience.

Hello Technie's,
I am in a confused state of mind with my current situation & I can surely use some advice from you guys.
I'm working with a product company for almost 5+ yrs now & recently decided to separate from them for obvious compensation reasons.
I have multiple offers now with product/service based companies.
The top and the best offer I have is from a service based organization of almost 100% hike.
Now my company wants to retain me & offering me even higher. What should I do?
