of? Maybe you can work with your boss to map out a time frame and a path to a promotion? Figure out what amount of money you feel you’re worth, ask for it with confidence and gratitude, and be prepared to walk if you don’t get it. The reality is that when you work for someone else, they set the ceiling on what you can make, so if they’re not budging and you’re unhappy, it might be time to seek out another company or organization that pays better. Staying where you are and being bitter is not an option.
