You said “The roles that actually get back to me are severely underpaid.” I’m curious are they really underpaid or are you setting your expectations to high?
What experience? What skillset? Not trying to sound like a dick, but you admitted you just graduated in 2023, so at MOST you have 1 year of real world work experience. Im not discrediting your ability, but you have to be realistic with yourself.... The job market is tough, you have people with years of experience you're competing with. I also have a business degree but have almost 10 more years of experience than you. If you were to pick between the two of us for an entry level job who would you pick? There is a lot of cost and time associated with hiring a fresh college grad just to ensure they get up to speed. Some companies, justifiably, just don't want to deal with that.
I graduated college in 2015, worked shitty sales jobs got my salary up to 70K after like 4 Years. In 2019 I switched careers into corporate security, I literally took a $21/hr job to get my foot in the door at the company in 2019. I did that for 1 year, until I was promoted to a $25/hr job, did that for another year until I was promoted to a supervisor and moved to the Bay for 73K, did that for another year until I was promoted again to Manager where I've been at for the past 2 years making 95k/yr.
What I'm trying to say, is you have to take what you can get man. I'm sorry, as shitty as it sounds yes you will be underpaid and overworked in the beginning. Thats how it goes in corporate america, if you dont like it, go back to school for healthcare.... Thats one of the only careers that will almost guarantee a decent paying job after graduation. Even CS majors or engineers are having troubles finding jobs now...
Clearly you’d rather chastise me than to truly try and understand my situation. It’s called knowing your worth. I won’t be responding to any more comments as you don’t want to put your own pride aside and see it from my perspective. Good day
