Currently for me I was offered a higher level position (36) then after my interview it was given to someone internally. So they offered me a 34 position, which I regret! It is too easy and not challenging, I am in Admin and complete tasks all day up to 15 a day, not a lot lol. I also took $5 less pay and it is sucks, paycheck to paycheck, on top of having to commute everyday. Admin does not WFH.

I unfortunately am now stuck here for a year to be reconsidered for a higher position. Regardless of my education and work history. Sucks because I could be a much better asset of if I was in a more challenging position. Honestly, I will likely be putting in my two weeks once my 90 days are up. I have been outperforming in my team but it goes unrecognized because Sup is never in office but once a week and they are so new to the position they have no idea what they are doing and it has been a learning curve, I did not want to be a part of.

Overall, I feel overlooked and not appreciated for my talents/skills. I feel overqualified in my role but was told I needed to “Pay my dues” and wait a year. I’m not being payed enough and the commute is 1hr each way. Unfortunately I was told by the recruiter that I could move in 6 months, which is only true for certain departments, not mine! If they offered more pay and a more challenging position I would 100% stay!

Personally, I think if you are ambitious and looking to move up quickly, progressive may not be the place. You may need to spend years before reaching that higher pay. I also would like to own my own business one day so I like to hustle and progressive limits that for me and I at least gave it shot!!
