not to generalize but i feel like a lot of workplaces, esp if they're more later-stage career people ,
it's like work is kind of just like do ur time and get paid so you can focus on family / life outside of work lol
so like being speedy just isn't really worth the effort / not really any incentive for it

Hello hello

At work I’m... probably not a hard worker. >.<
If we have customers or deliveries I work hard, but when there is down time I sit on my phone. XD

ah i mean why not ^^
there's probably not much more you could really do besides fiddle with stuff if there aren't any people needing anything from you?

I've thought about it but the problem with most startups is that they usually have a culture of expecting you to work more than 40 hours a week and whenever they need you and that's super not for me. I need to be able to say that I'm done with work past a certain point in the evening and on weekends. I'd go insane if I was 'always on'.

I'm also still pretty low in years of experience. I think that has a lot to do with how I've been compensated so far.

mm that's true i think that is common :-/ but not necessary! i've worked at a few and they all had p good work/life balance imo
i've kept the same hours everywhere i've worked and everyone respected that and there wasn't any pressure to work beyond the hours i set
maybe i've just been lucky though? i also prioritize culture quite a bit when i job search

i hope you get the compensation you deserve!! i think we're in the same industry , if you ever want a second opinion on job stuff my pm's are always open :3

I usually prioritize culture too - and I will interview with startups. But I find they usually turn me down because of a 'culture mismatch' which is pretty much always because I want to work set hours loool. It could be the area I'm in has a different startup culture than other places. And with my current job search I'm really only looking at 'Design System Teams' because I got to work on one a few months ago and loved it and ended up not being able to stay. But they tend to exist more at bigger companies than smaller ones so I haven't been talking with startups as much this time around because of that.

Thanks! I'll definitely keep that in mind. ^-^

ah i see, yeah that's true different cities do have different cultures for stuff like that , though i'm hoping that will matter less as remote work is becoming more accepted
i hope you find a role you'll be happy in!!!

also i don't wanna assume anything abt ur gender / gender presentation but imo non cis men tend to get heavily underpaid :-/
like in general everywhere lol but also definitely in tech , so i hope you are getting compensated fairly too!!

Me too!

Yea... that's what I've heard but I honestly don't know for sure how true or not that is for me. I've talked to very few people about exactly how much I'm making and of those that I have if they were making more it's because they had a higher-level title than I did at the time so it made sense that they made more.

ah yeah it's also hard to recognize cuz it's not as common for ppl to be super open abt their compensation :-/
i'm grateful for my male peers who understand it's an issue and feel comfortable speaking openly w me about it

i think glassdoor has numbers for city+years of experience, that could be good data to back you up if you are getting undercompensated and want to ask or negotiate for more

sometimes undercompensation shows up in subtle ways too - like unconcious bias leads to women/non cis men getting underleveled, so it might look like they're getting compensated ok for that level but they should actually be getting paid for l+1 !

Yea I don't live close enough to a city to be able to walk everywhere.
But with the pandemic I've actually been getting my groceries delivered - another reason it stays pretty on schedule is because I put the order in earlier in the week to reserve my time slot for it.
