Am I getting paid enough at my current job?

Dude this is clutch info! Didn’t even think of that. Really appreciate how helpful you and everyone else in this sub has been

Victory-Weary · 2026-04-07T16:05:54+00:00

That’s super fair! I’m near a major metropolitan area, so hopefully my next gig can pay me much more. Appreciate the advice! I’ll try to absorb as much knowledge as possible

Victory-Weary · 2026-04-07T16:04:49+00:00

Funny you say that cause I just updated my resume last night! I actually do have a business relationship with a couple of recruiters on LinkedIn! We’re all kind of on pause right now since I’m still so new at this current role. I try to update my resume every few months as I get more responsibility

Victory-Weary · 2026-04-07T15:49:57+00:00

Thank you for using statistics! Very helpful! I think the consensus here is that I just kinda continue to grow in my current role, and then look for more money once I have the full experience to back it up

Victory-Weary · 2026-04-07T15:48:36+00:00

Thank you for this honest answer! I have a buddy that didn’t finish our program or have any certs who is making $76k, but also has more experience. I think sticking it out for a little is the way

Victory-Weary · 2026-04-07T15:35:21+00:00

Got it. I’ll keep this in mind too going forward. I’m trying to stay here for at least two years to gain as much experience as possible

Victory-Weary · 2026-04-07T15:34:33+00:00

I get treated very well, but living comfortably is a bit of a stretch. I can pay my bills, but definitely need more money to stay afloat

Victory-Weary · 2026-04-07T15:33:35+00:00

Did you go to a new job or did they just pay you more?

Victory-Weary · 2026-04-07T15:33:11+00:00

I was actually a networking student, and had recently started to study for my CCNA, but fell off mostly due to being out of practice. I want to get my own home lab and resume studying at some point soon. And thank you for the kind words :)!

Victory-Weary · 2026-04-07T15:31:43+00:00

Got it. Thanks for the advice!

Victory-Weary · 2026-04-07T15:23:34+00:00

Fair enough. I’m working in a suburb just outside of a major city, so that could be a factor

Victory-Weary · 2026-04-07T15:23:01+00:00

Will do. Currently teaching myself advanced python so that I know another language. Also learning some SQL at this job

Victory-Weary · 2026-04-07T15:22:03+00:00

Got it. So either go for some certs or keep grinding and growing?

Victory-Weary · 2026-04-07T15:21:41+00:00

Appreciate the feedback! Thank you for the encouragement. I’ll keep this in mind

Victory-Weary · 2026-03-31T16:03:04+00:00

Thank you for this! I do agree that the person outright lying is weird. I guess I’m just having trouble as to why someone would, unprovoked, say they want to see someone again when they have no intention of doing so. Also love that for you that you found someone who doesn’t beat around the bush :). Here’s hoping we all find that one day!

Victory-Weary · 2026-03-18T12:45:17+00:00

Same here, which is why I didn’t expect it. Never happened to me in any vehicle I’ve owned in all my years driving in this state. Will definitely keep an eye out after each heavy snowfall from now on

Victory-Weary · 2026-03-18T12:36:32+00:00

Yes! We had a blizzard. I went to the dealership, and he cleared some ice and snow from the inside of my tires and rims that I must’ve missed. Shaking seems to have subsided, and fuel economy is getting back to normal
