is it weird if someone stays a junior even after having worked for 5-10 years?
my salary 5k is more than enough for me to live a comfortable life as my expenses are low. if i never get promoted again i would probably still be able to live my life. also believe in work life balance so not really trying to actively climb the corporate ladder.
if my performance is mediocre and i am still at a low rank many years down the line, will i regret it? heard many ppl say should chiong when young, dont want to regret next time…
Here are what netizens think:
- Research fellow in university pays around 5k for many years, and you will be the same title even 4-5 years
- Everything got its pros and cons. Figure out what are the cons of not wanting to climb the ladder and ask yourself if you are ok with them. Most importantly, don’t let regrets come in after deciding, look ahead and keep moving for whatever path you have chosen. There is no right or wrong here. I know people who are happy to get a reasonable pay and spend their non-work time doing stuff that bring them joy. Some people enjoy the hustle and earn big bucks. Both groups are happy in their own way, find your own way.
- Everyone has his own pace. Some stay low in their 20s then burst out in 30s. Depends if you are trying. Some jobs take a while to accum skills and knowledge and experience. Even though graduated, still require couple years of further learning.
— Up to you, but you should at least upskill on your own time, so if you kenna retrench im your 40s you’ll still be able to find a job
