I don't mean shortchange the company. I mean don't shortchange yourself.
@OP, If you accept less than you are worth people will continue to offer you exactly that. I don't mean be unreasonable; I mean don't accept the age-old argument "oh, but you'll get experience".
Even when you are starting out, stand up for what you are worth. You won't regret it.
- hfthrowaway 15y agoThanks. I see it both ways, and agree with both you and rumpelstiltskin. My current job pays abysmally low, but it offered great experience when I didn't have any. And I'm getting more interesting opportunities now because of it. So now I can afford to be a little less desperate.
- kposehn 15y agoGood! Glad you can move onward and upward. I just hate to see people keep limiting themselves :)
