[quote=Anonymous]So much of this is field dependent and there’s only so much you can do if you’re in a crappy paying field and not willing or able to move elsewhere. I was in a similar position in my mid 30s at an NGO. I hustled and pushed the last few years and now at 39 make $85k with a good growth potential. Two years ago though I was making just over $60k without great options and started looking to change sectors. I knew I was worth more than I was getting paid (top performing employee, top college and grad degrees, etc etc) but accepted it given mommy-tracking and the associated benefits, until I wasn’t able to accept it anymore. I didn’t want to leave (I’m pretty passionate about my work) and am glad I didn’t have to but at some point if you’re a highly competent employee and trying to support a family, putting up with being underpaid gets really old.[/quote]
