Would you have a part on your dream project if it meant you had to do it for free? Or is income the most important part of the job now?

I have some dream projects in mind, but I can't afford to work for free. So that's the answer. I would like to be in the position where I would have that kind of flexibility and go off to work on something just for the gratification. I'm not there yet, and the reality is that I can't walk into Gelson's and spend gratification.

Yeah it’s the dream isn’t it but when you’re worrying about where the next pay check is it’s hard to focus on it.

Hmm it depends, as I’m currently a trainee right now so I could do a job for free if it’s my dream job!

I have a pretty good idea that I’m being undervalued & underpaid. Anyone willing to share base salaries for account manager/account executive/sales lead for food/CPG industry? Any companies considering inflation raises or have already committed to increasing annual merit to match inflation? If so, willing to share % raise?

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?
