"I stayed at my internship for 8 years. To be fair, I graduated college in 2008, at the peak of the recession. I was interning there in college, and no one was hiring. They offered me the job, which was just basically a continuation of my internship (the same hourly rate, just some shitty benefits thrown in). Because of the market, I knew I had to take it...
After 6 or 7 years, I found out about Glassdoor and realized that I was being paid 30 to 40% below the MINIMUM market value rate in my area. I brought this into them and asked for a raise. They gaslighted me and tried to guilt me, and didn't give me anything... I got a new job, got back up to market rate, and I was able to walk out the door...
Make no mistake, this whole thing was an idiot move on my part, and likely cost me upwards of $250,000 over the 8 years I was there." - Hey_its_me_your_mom
