So let me give you a context of my situation. I have been working for the past 3 years, I started working in the technical field at first and now I am shifting towards marketing. I am looking for a new job and have applied to some places, whenever I get a call they ask me what is my future expected salary.
I say a higher package than what is expected of me. They say that I don't have enough experience, and I don't know what to say here. How much experience is enough experience? Even after trying and working for years, I get to hear this. I am frustrated and irritated with everything. I want to become an artist but I can't because I don't have enough money to be able to do it full time, and I have also been trying to build audience and grow followers on my social media accounts.
I started working with a low salary and even now I am expected to get a low salary because I don't have enough experience as per their “standards”. I am not worthy of anything according to them. They say that I can't be picky and just accept whatever they are offering and I am like why should I not chose? I have worked a lot and I still don't have the option to choose, I mean what even??!!
I have been trying hard but somehow I feel like I am not worthy enough of a big package, or a big salary. The HR people working in the companies say some bitter things and then I get so sad that I feel like punching a wall sometimes. I get confused about my career sometimes and it kinda sucks that I haven't got anything figured out and while I am seeing all my friends and cousins getting married and buying a house. I am really feeling lost and I don't know what to do.
