Looking for another part time job. the vast majority of these available jobs read like the creepy listing where some guy is looking for a roommate but is specifically looking for female roommates only.

Just gross.

    I’ve had the same thing happen in person a few times. Some places just won’t tell you what they pay unless you can get an interview.

      My current job, I asked what the pay was, they said 'you tell us what it should pay".

      So I asked what the range was, and they said “thats not how this works, you tell us what you want” so I said a highish number for me at the time. They’re like “ok, that works”.

      Turns out I make 40% less than all my co workers because I didn’t know what the range was commonly for this role. Theor game let me lowball myself. It’s completely BS.

        That’s why I always start with 1 million dollars. Then I tell them not to worry, I have wiggle room!

        Let the negotiations begin!
