So I took a job in tech for a reputable company in the tech world. The pay is trash. In fact I turned down a job making 30k more in a diff industry because I’m trying to advance in the music tech / web 3 industry. My plan is to work hard for 6 months and if I’m not promoted / switch departments by month 8 with a significant pay increase I’m gonna leave . (the company does have many employees get promoted in under a year they prefer internal moves to hiring outside)
It feels kind of crazy to be starting a new job knowing my plan is to leave in 6 months but I already lost respect for them by them not raising my salary by anything when I requested negotiation. I do think this is the best plan.
Thoughts ?
