[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not the company’s job to over pay you as you have high bills.

I worked at an amazing company once 830 am to 430 pm job, subsidized cafeteria, great 401k match, job security, amazing health insurance. The catch pay was 1/2 of other companies.

Our workforce was largely people under 30 lived at home, people over 55 laid off and needed steady income and health insurance till 65 and “semi” stay at home Moms 30-50 who wanted low areas job with great health insurance and most lived close to office.

We used to joke 
what do you say to an employee quitting for higher pay at 30? 
See you at 55.

I worked there when single loved it. Plenty time to date, go get MBA at night, hang out happy hours and when got engaged quit as needed more salary to afford buying a house, wedding having kids.

Guess what I had a high stress high pay job from 34-60. Now I am at a BS job semi non profit lower pay waiting till retirement date.

My current job the demographic is just my my job 30 years ago. We post VP level and SVP jobs around 100k less than market. And people 52-62 laid off facing age discrimination gladly take them. And our junior role kids out of JMU, Towson type college with B averages gladly take lower paid job, get experience and move on,

Ok, except in the current job market, the salary is low, most places aren't remote anymore and the benefits are terrible. Be grateful you're almost to retirement. We were on track to retire early-ish but not anymore. [/quote]

The job market is not bad it, is the same. The Hard jobs, in person, long hours, with travel with lots of credentials required still pay a lot. Trouble is I will tell people go to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Capital One in DC area for higher pay they are like it is in person, they make you do a lot of work, very political, no job security, higher stress, longer hours or I tell them move to NYC go to Goldman, JP Morgan or join a FAANNG with RSUS and they are like oh no Nivida, Amazon, will make me work a ton of hours and have strick KPIs if I dont meet could lose job.

Well dude thats life. There is also problem they have mediocore resumes. Went to second tier college, worked at no name companies, have no certifications, weak networking skills and want high pay 9-5 jobs that are 3-4 days remote. Yea in 2021/2022 in red hot job market they existed for a brief period. It is 2026 if you want high pay it is in person, high stress and long hours.  [/quote]
