Comment on "The insultingly low salary you would have accepted is still too high."
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 days agoIf the pay is lower than £30,000 a year, I can’t get a family visa for my wife and daughter.
Meanwhile, a recruited told me I should be asking for £50,000 a year.
And if you look at how much rents are even in the outskirts of London, I think you will find that low amount of pay is not going to let you have much of a life.

My gut tells me you should ask for $35k.
In my experience, lots of employers (American that is) have offered me a thousand or two less than my request during offers.

I probably shouldn’t be doing as lowball an offer as possible, but I’m getting pretty anxious about getting a job because time is trickling away, as is money.

I hear that. Are there recruiters in your field you can utilize?
I’m facing eviction because my job (uber driver) isn’t paying enough, seemingly no matter how many hours I work. Got a call from the landlord who said they were gonna go ahead and set up a court date for the eviction.

I have and am, thank you. Not just in my area. I spent the weekend contacting every recruiter in the UK I could find that would help me. It’s taken a while to do something that active because I’ve been getting settled and dealing with basic stuff, bureaucracy, etc. But I did get a couple of calls later in the day yesterday from recruiters, so that’s a positive.
