Something I’ve found (and this is from my own experience as a woman in corporate) is that corporate jobs almost always undervalue. In your case, they tried to offer you 68 knowing well that you are worth at least 84k (hence the new offer amount). Seems like you have been successful at running your businesses, so if I were you, I’d continue school full-time and maybe pick up a relevant part-time job while spending the rest of your time networking/ other orgs. Unless you see yourself staying at the company for a long time and not need to apply elsewhere or to grad school, you’re going to wish you had built up your resume with more diversified work experiences/skills. Also I’m making about the same in SF and I lucked out on my apt, but I’m not sure how far 84k will take you in NYC with such a HCOL.
Thanks for your elaborate response and how much you were willing to share 😭🙏 Currently I live with my partner so rent is doable it’s around 1700 and utilities. Decided to stay because the coo was open to let me try other areas of the department while getting paid, I’ll be looking for internships for the summer and hop if I don’t get promoted or challenged at my current role. I’m wondering how do you calculate in the job security aspect when it comes to wanting more diverse experience?
I'm impressed! 👏 Sounds like you know your worth and potential. If it were me, I would leave that job and focus on new opportunities. The world's your oyster!
Thank youuu! Decided to stay because the coo made time to meet with me and that shows they actually care so I hope to grow with them for the time being❤️ your comment gave me the courage to negotiate higher thank u
Finish your degree above all else. At your level of experience, moving around (multiple internships) is the best thing you can do for yourself. It broadens your exposure and allows you to potentially develop a more diverse skillset.
Thank you so much! I decided to stay at 86k hybrid mainly because our coo said we can’t give you more since you don’t have a bachelor’s but we are open to you exploring other areas of the department so 50% of your time in your tasks and the other you choose kind of like a rotational. What would you advice to take into account on creating my own rotational experience? Thank you🙏
This is so cool see. I’m also working on my bachelor’s degree but am working full time in the tech space as a digital marketer. I haven’t really seen anyone in that position doing what we’re doing, so this is really inspiring and was a great read for my imposter syndrome
Go get it! As long as you work hard and provide value I think you shouldn’t doubt yourself as much! Also thanks to these beautiful humans who volunteered their time to comment and provide guidance!
