I need different opinion, POVs.
Im 25, working at my current workplace for 2 years. I managed to persuade my managers from 3.5 to above 6k in 2 years. Or maybe Im just lucky, teammate on leave, reservice, etc. So I was assigned to replace them for that period of time, and maybe I proved to my managers I can do it, hence the increment?
Anyways, I know above 6 is honestly very high, considering I’m only a diploma holder too. But I’m getting really tired, I don’t look forward to work here anymore. I’m sick of my managers and supervisors.
My issue is I want to quit but I am scared I cannot find companies that is willing to pay so much for someone with only 2 years experience. Also, my current scope is totally not what I’ve studied, and I honestly and no interest since the start. Can I find a job of my preferred role, and still have same range salary? Or am I stucked at this role.
Please speak your mind, I’m fine with any constructive criticism. I don’t do sweet talk either.
Here are what netizens think:
- Don’t stress up. Progress yourself as much as possible. Go upgrade yourself. Education ia life-long. In between, get yourself professionally upgrade before engaging to degrees. We don’t buy degrees like SICKCA. What you learn professionally with job experience stay with you. Beef up your experiences to gain better entry to University degrees.
- Pretty naive to think that you get 6k salary with the stress and responsibilities of a 3k job.
- Well you asked for that salary, you got what you wanted and the work that comes along with it. No such thing as high pay and shake leg or maybe there is, i don’t know. If you feeling burnt out from the current job, go for a vacation. Relax your mind and soul.
If you worry bout not being able to get the same pay or higher for job next job, ask yourself if you’re willing to be in the current position again in your next job opportunity. Like what others say, no such thing as free lunch. If no, then maybe can down size the pay to find a job that’s okay for your well being and mental health.
I have friends who’s willing to work low pay as long as they got time for themselves or their family. Yes, money is important but it’s not really everything if your well being is affected. Life’s a marathon, not a race. Don’t get burnt out chasing papers. It will eventually come to you if you put your capabilities to good use.
If whatever you’re doing is not to your interest, maybe time to explore other option/industry? Take up certifications to jump to another industry maybe?
