[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make $50k in a public policy job. Since I work somewhere with a well known name people think I make much more. It makes things tight with 2 kids in daycare and a husband who makes $80k. I’m 36.[/quote] Brookings without a PhD or Pew without being a lawyer or lobbyist? [/quote] Np. I'm thinking Brookings. Pew pays better. [/quote] I interviewed at Pew coming out of grad school with directly relevant experience. I asked for $50 and my interviewer all but laughed at me. A few weeks later I landed a job at $48 with frequent opportunities for raises so I surpassed $50 quickly. Now 40...finally promoted this year to a higher level / close to $100 but was stuck around $75 for years. For much of that time was the sole income (apart from a small stipend) while DH earned his PhD. [/quote]
