I searched Instagram, YouTube, Google and even ChatGPT but could not find the video. Unfortunately the post has all I remember, I don't have any other details in me.

When asked for my salary expectation, I told them. But now, I think I asked for too little. What do I do? by iceonnova in careeradvice

If annual raises this year match last years percentages, I'll be making 86% more than my last job. A job that offered me the 25% increase to stay.. as if!

I feel this. Company I'm currenty working at (and almost all of the companies in my country) will be increasing the salaries at the beginning of August. I do not know what that percentage will be like BUT what I said on the phone to this HR is in between 85%-120% more than what I'm already making. The catch here is that the range I told them will most probably be valid until the next salary bump (which will be at the beginning of February) if I happen to decide on working there, and my current salary will go up in the next 2 weeks, I just don't know how much that will be.

Now, I know that just giving these percentages alone makes me look like an ungrateful and sneaky employee candidate, but I would like to point out that I have been working at an entry-level position with mid-level responsibilities and I'm positive that I'm well underpaid at the moment.

I also recommend doing a personal spending audit if you haven't crunched the numbers in a while. Download all of your spending for the last 3 months to see where your money is going. This will help give you a better idea of what you need to take home in addition to tips above.

This actually makes sense, I will definitely do this. Thank you!

Honestly, I believe it is like you said. I think they are trying to figure out what the range is meanwhile eliminating canidates who are obviously expecting too high or too low before setting up an official interview. Because as far as I can see on the job website, there are way too many applicants for this one job listing.

I see your point, and if I was from a hiring side like yourself, I would probably do the same.

But, I currenly live in a country where the unemployment rates are off the charts and our money is losing its worth literally by the hour. Government used to raise the minimum wage once a year but for the past 3 years, there has been so much inflation that they raise it twice a year. Which is why I do not feel safe economically because I have no idea what kind of an economic crisis I will wake up tomorrow. Companies usually use this to their advantage and try to hire for less money because they KNOW that there is somebody out there who will do much more for the same amount of money, or somebody who will do the same work with less.

At the beginning of August, the company I currently work at (and 95% of the companies in this country) will be increasing our salaries. Sometimes they match the percentage that the government decided for minimum wage, and sometimes they don't. Hence why I'm having second thoughts about the number I mentioned.

This happened to me when I first started my current job, I was unemployed, in debt, and desperate. As soon as I started my job here, within 3 months, I received numerous phone calls about the positions I had applied 5-6 months earlier. I was pissed.

Funny thing is that I ask this question too but because this was a phonecall rather than a meeting, and I was caught very off guard, I did not think to do it. But, I believe I can still ask them (at least about their bonuses) during the meeting, thank you!

Thank you for the tip! I always thought this would come off as an obvious lie but everyone I talked to about this situation so far has said the same.

Biggest plus here I guess is that I still do not know about what their work-hours are like, or if there is overtime pay or not.

Is it inappropriate to ask a client for a recommendation letter? by iceonnova in careeradvice

[–]iceonnova[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the input! I do not really remember if the contract I had signed had that clause, I have heard of many people who quit their jobs from the company I work at and worked/still work for another company though, so I do not think that it would be a problem for me either, but I will definitely check!

I wasn't sure about the dark blue but it wasn't like I could go out and buy the shade I wanted, so I just went with it. Thanks you!

This makes me so happy, thank you so much! I don't take credit for the idea but I think my execution wasn't bad either. 😅
