I need some advice on to advance in terms of jobs and pay.
I've been working in the insurance/banking world for nearly 11 years now (3 companies). I've worked hard, I've put in extra time, helped to get things done. All of my supervisors have always had nothing but good things to say, offered a position if I were to return, etc.
Yet, I haven't progressed. At all. In fact, now, on my latest job, I'm making for less than I did 5 years go.
A little background, I'm 27, I don't have a college degree...is that what is holding me back? For reference...I've never made more than $25K/year...
I don't understand what I am doing (or not doing)...never really had anyone explain this. I guess I was always told "work hard and you will be rewarded", but I'm starting to doubt that. Have I just been working for $hitty companies?
Not sure what the point of this thread is...maybe some feedback.
