A lot of people do not understand their worth and let get hired/exploited for peanuts.
When I was hired for my absolute first job, over two decades ago, I was asked how much I want. I did not know how much I can ask so I asked some minimum that I thought would pay for my expenses. The guy who interviewed me, who was to be my manager, said he shouldn't be telling this but I can ask twice as much.
- konjin 6y agoYes, your first job. Not your second. You need to be deeply unpleasant to work with for no one to tell you you've been exploited when you leave.
- cccc4all 6y agoHe probably told you that because that was the minimum salary range for that position.
- NeverFade 6y agoThen that underpaid employee gets easily poached for x3 their pay a year in, when they have all the valuable knowledge and work responsibilities. Sounds like what happened at Intel, from the top comments.
