Hi everyone,
I’m a little bit in a bind right now. I used to work in semiconductor industry then switched couple months ago to a very very small biotech company because it’s better for my mental health and wlb. The salary cut doesn’t really bother me when I first started the job, even though I know I’m severely underpaid, since I did take a year break due to pandemic, but now I’m starting to regret my decision due to how expensive living cost is and how much I need to downsize.
Thing is, I like what I’m doing, but I’ve been doing a lot more than what my job scope is. Pretty much doing a job as a Sales/Product Manager bc the manager left the company a month before I started.
How do I navigate this situation? Asking a raise for $40k sounds like a reach since I’ve only been here for 7 months. Is getting a new offer with much higher TC a good strategy to have them match the market rate ? Or should I consider leaving this company for a much higher pay even tho I finally think I found something that I will not hate doing? Any advice is appreciated. I can also send my resume via DM to anyone who’s interested to review it.

You will not change this culture. They may give you something but you will continue to be behind your peers. Learn from my mistakes and move on before you waste too much time there.
Anyhow I am here to learn and grow and do something about it. I wish you luck as well.
Send me a DM if you want to take this to email and chat about resume and interview prep strategy.
I’d interview and move on.
