    The thing I have a hard time wrapping my brain around is my worth. I’ve mostly gotten over my imposter syndrome, but getting paid like $30-40 an hour or more, seems like a lot more than I deserve?

    IDK. I’m still struggling to find my worth.

    I recently was picked up as a tier II support technician (IT), and I’m the only T2 on the team. Technically, everyone who was hired before me was a “T1” (though, they didn’t really use that title, since there wasn’t a T2).

    I finished my probation today, and I still ask my co-workers questions about the stuff we support. Feels weird to ask someone who is “lower” than I am in title, to help me with something.

      I think the problem is inflation and stagnant wages. When you get paid a living wage, but a teacher is making peanuts, it feels wrong.

      It’s not that you are getting paid too much. It’s that most people are being paid too little.
