In my previous role I was compensated at 51k unfortunately I lost my job. Due to this I have been applying everywhere. I applied to a role that only wants to compensate me at $19. That’s a huge decrease! This role only requires a high school diploma or GED. I tried to negotiate with the fact that I have a bachelors degree in the healthcare field and I am bilingual. Their max is at 23.86 which wouldn’t be to far off from the 24.52 I was previously making. The HR rep wouldn’t budge in fact she said that she wanted to recommend a lower offer.
I’m truly shocked I graduated with above a 3.0 had previous work experience before and after the degree. I did several internships and received awards I made sure to list them on the resume. I worked two great previous roles that compensated me accurately. What could I have done differently?
And yes a soon as I get a better offer I will quit. I’ve already started applying elsewhere I feel so slighted.
