Took some time to rethink what I want out of my career and now that I'm back in job search mode, it feels overwhelming. How do you all balance being selective while needing to find stability again?

Like some have mentioned, I'm not trying to be too selective anymore especially in this job market. Unless you're already employed and working, you just gotta take what you can get

Selective? I'm working part-time at a dollar store. This is a take-what-you-can-get kind of job market unless you are one of the lucky few with decades of experience or are in one of the few industries still hiring.

😕 sorry to hear that and very true.. definitely need to adjust to what’s realistic these days.

I would pounce on anything that checks half of your boxes and move back up from there.

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
