'I remember my jaw dropping when the recruiter presented the offer with total compensation, and I could not believe that a company thought I was worth so much.'
In 2021, I switched jobs like many people during the Great Resignation. I was burnt out from working at an infectious disease lab through the pandemic, and I realized that I could work somewhere else for more money with less effort. I pivoted to tech, where my salary changed from $50,000 to $60,000 . I remember my jaw dropping when the recruiter presented the offer with total compensation, and I could not believe that a company thought I was worth so much.
I was able to use the stability from that job to find my next position, so I'd say the drop was worth it.One of my first jobs was as an analyst at a small tech company, where I started as a temp. I was paid $8.50 an hour, but we were so busy that I made buckets of overtime. The company then made me an offer to work full time for $10, which I negotiated to $11.50. I truly angsted over the decision to negotiate and felt like I had really won when they agreed to the higher rate.
