I've been working full-time as an accountant assistant for some time now. Recently, it's been admittedly burning me out from the stress and responsibility put onto me, but with only a $17/hour pay.
The coworkers are nice, and my boss is really nice and teaches me a lot of things (just generally pretty busy themself is all). Company's fun with providing plenty of events to partake, but are also optional. However, even with being switched from temporary to fulltime after a couple months of working, got a pay bump from $15 to $17/hour, and get plenty of benefits and some PTO, it doesn't feel like enough as of late.
Ever since I got hired, I've been dealing with both my own responsibilities and a co-worker's responsibilities, who quited a couple months after I was hired temporary. They've been planning to hand over the co-worker's responsibilities to someone else once I get promoted after the end of this year. I just really hope that the promotion provides a good pay bump.
$17/hour is honestly not enough, and unless I get a good raise, I might consider looking another job next year. I really hope it doesn't get to that case. I do enjoy my coworker and boss, I honestly do, but I can't keep working this job for low pay.
