Lookback: 1 year

found out new hires are making more than me

discovered new designers making $64k with zero experience, while I've been making $61k after 5 years of service

What I wish I knew
"companies prioritize attracting new talent over retaining existing employees"
If I could tell you one thing
"consider updating your resume and interviewing for better opportunities"
