Ok now that I can thing straight I want to help encourage some people on here. I just received my offer letter for a new job it’s £9,000 more than what my current company offered me as a perm contract and it’s a step up.......
2 things I want to say here:
1. If you’re feeling undervalued, unhappy or underpaid in you current job have no fear. We are currently in a “candidate driven market” that means there are more jobs than good candidates so nows the time to look. Dust your cv up and start applying!
2. (Especially black women) apply for jobs you think you are under qualified for. 9/10 tokes the people doing the job don’t know what they’re doing so why not you? Also NEGOTIATE your salary always, never just accept what you’re given negotiate your worth.
Oh and actually thirdly don’t be afraid to change jobs. It’s the fastest way to increase your income. You’ll struggle to get significant pay rises in the same company.
Hope this helps someone
