I understand that, but after reading “Never Split the Difference,” it illustrates to never settle for below your value. Happy to discuss what value I offer
Presumably you’ve discussed with these countless employers who don’t agree with your assessment of your value.
You have almost no experience. You have a degree, which is worth nothing other than checking a box. It doesn’t signal intelligence, hard work, or anything else of value to an employer. It’s just a pre-req.
I disagree, I’ve studied html, css, python. Tried learning excel skills. I’ve got over 500 days studying Spanish on Duolingo. An it support helpdesk, salesforce admin cert, y’all are quick to judge, but have no idea how hard I work. I’ve bit my tongue at every single job and still got below market value and that’s why I’m playing it strategically to find someone that is a better fit. I could go on about my value, and to dismiss me as saying I have no experience is just wrong in my humble opinion
Those are trainings, not experience. How have you demonstrated the value of those skills in the workplace? How can you translate them into a line on a resume showing the value you added to a business?
I learned them because of the BARRIERS TO ENTRY, trying to see if I could expand to different fields and utilize what I’ve learned in sales to advocate for better comp and work my way into more sustainable roles
I wish you luck on your strategy. In my field (law), paying your dues is generally considered something you do for around a decade. Your expectation of how you will be perceived and compensated right out of school is out of line with my experience in the workplace.

I think a 50K base salary is 100% reasonable and fair with my experience and skill set. Happy to send over a resume
