So a little over a year ago I started working as a software development intern and a few months down the line I was promoted to jr software developer.
Today I went in and asked for a salary adjustment because I was getting paid almost 50% less than the median pay for someone with my equivalent skill set and experience
After talking to my boss she called me back in after lunch and told me that she wouldn't be able to negotiate a raise with me and my best option would be to go find another job.
I honestly didn't see this coming, I'm only 20 so this is my first time asking for a raise in a decent size company and I did not expect that at all.
It really makes me realize how when you're not in control you can work as hard as you can in the slowlanr and you may not even get compensated for it, although this sucks it really opened my eyes to what MJ said in the book.
The slowlane F*cking blows
