I’ve been working for 30 years. I’ve never had an issue getting raises and I only take what I think I’m worth. If I don’t like their offer I go on the next person.
i wonder if the nature and specialization of your professional work is what allows you to be like that with employers, i imagine the local cashier at mcdonalds doesn’t have that kind of bargaining power
Imagine giving up a technical position for a sales position. I’m poor as fuck but I actually enjoy my work. I own my home. I get to play guitar and play with my kids. If I’d taken the sales position I was offered I’d be dead.

what do you do for a living?
Technical sales. My background is cybersecurity but sales is easier and pays a lot more.

Dang I missed it. Was it something funny at least.
they’re in tech sales lmao
Like selling enterprise tech services? Like a fucking Salesforce account rep or salesperson? Lmao
they said they were in tech sales, their background was in cybersecurity but they made more in sales. that’s the gist of it.

Be good at your job and you will always have that type of bargaining power.
Within reason. No a McDonald’s worker can’t say I want a base of 300k. They don’t product that type of revenue. I can because I do.
That’s what limits the wages of places like McDonald’s. They can only pay x because they charge x.
I am in good spot as I can demand high wages and produce the results they’re paying for.
