Short background stories. I work in a bank, as a loan officer, somewhere in eastern Europe. I've been working there for a year and they just gave me a new, permanent contract without a raise.
It's a high stress, high pressure job, with targets that keep getting bigger and bigger and crazy high rates on loans. And salary is miserable.
After the yearly conversation with my superior (who is nice), I've asked for a raise and since he is not the one who makes that decision, he asked me to give him 2 months and he'll get me one. I accepted but I've already started looking for other job.
If I'm working under this much of stress then I f***ing wanna be paid well for it. If not, then I'm leaving and I'll find less stressing job for the same salary at least.
This kind of life can't be all…. What's the point of it? I can not imagine myself doing this job for 40 years more, every day, 9 hrs, and keeping my mind. Seriously, another 2 years and I think I'll either jump through window or strangle someone.
This subreddit is my favorite. Thank you guys.
