[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in the C-Suite, make $300k+ and did not get into my field or career path due to connections or why/where I went to school. I worked hard, was hungry, ambitious and willing to work for peanuts in the beginning to gain knowledge in my field and climb the ladder. I made wise career moves/choices the more experience I gained and was not easily swayed into a new job by money but instead by the organizations themselves.

Any graduate out of college who thinks they'll make six figures in their first job needs you as their parent to talk them down from that. Of course there are exceptions - those people come from multi-generational wealth, have connections within family or friends/parents of friends and apart from the aggressive Harvard Business School types, have no idea how to work hard for anything because everything has been handed to them. And so it goes until the end of time. [/quote]

it's 2022, six figures out of college is not that unusual.

not sure anyone should be taking career advice from you - expecting people to work for peanuts? sounds like you just like exploiting labor.[/quote]

The PP also sounds like a white male. Much easier to "work your way up the corporate latter" when the standard of professionalism looks like you. [/quote]
