FWIW, the job market is absolute shit in buffalo (as you’ve discovered)
ive got a dual management/marketing degreee from canisius with 3 minors…and im still sitting in a “so-so” management environment paying anywhere from 25K-35K a year depending on bonuses for the month/year. we took a huge hours cut in january thats dropped us down to 20-30K, but i stick with it for now b/c of great healthcare and 3 weeks pd vacation i don’t feel like giving up
the solution is to move…find some expanding job markets that pay more for the same jobs. for me, im REAL close to moving to VA beach…had several job offers for nearly identical jobs paying REDICULOUSLY more, buuut i hate giving up a lot of earned vacation (plus id be lost without my sabres and my bills…and snow)
every day i move a step closer to moving…personally i think its the only way to expand yourself without finding some job that allows for rapid upward mobility yet starts you at some weak ass pay…which is pretty damn common for the ungodly high turnaround rate in buffalo…
