Üniversiteden Sonra Sıkışmış Hissetmek
22M, baharda üniversiteden mezun oldu, ailemle birlikte evde yaşamaya geri döndü ve yılda 50.000 $ karşılığında pazarlama alanında çalışıyor.
Teknoloji sektöründe veya büyük şirketlerde çalışan, aynı yaşta 70.000 $’ın üzerinde para kazanan, başka şehirlere taşınan insanları görüyorum ve kahroluyorum.
Kira olmadan yaşadığım ve kazandığım paranın sadece %75’ini tasarruf ettiğim için inanılmaz derecede şanslıyım ama kendimi önemsiz hissediyorum ve gelecekte başarılı olacak bir yolda olmadığımı hissediyorum. Çalıştığım şirket, yerel olarak sahip olunan küçük bir işletme ve burada ya da oradaki olası birkaç maaş artışı dışında çok fazla büyüme potansiyeli görmüyorum.
Sadece saf ve sabırsız olduğumu biliyorum, ama bir yanım daha fazlasını yapmam, taşınmam, bu yaşımda daha büyük riskler almam gerektiğini düşünüyor, ama diğer yanım sadece bir nevi kilitlenip şimdilik tasarruf etmenin sorun olmadığını biliyor.
bilmiyorum, zor. Başkalarının ne söyleyeceğini merak ediyorum veya durumumla ilgili verebileceğim başka bir nüans varsa

Try being 35 with 30k a year living at home with parents. Trust me from experience. Save every penny you have and continue. You seem to be in a great spot compared to me.
Figuring this out is as much self-discovery as it is getting tactical career advice. There are countless paths forward, but you need to start with… why do you feel the need to be doing more? What gives you energy each day? What are you lacking in your current role (putting money and prestige aside)? Once you unpack those things, you can start to form a path forward. Let me know if I can help with that process, as I’ve worked with tons of folks in similar situations.
It is kinda normal for anyone just started out, trying to get used to earning your first salary and being independent. Staying with parents is not too bad. In this age of hostility, many parents would love to have their grown children around, at least nearby.
In the end of the day, it is how much you have saved than how much you have made and squandered away.
I would see be very careful with the idea that you see others making more money in other industries and succeeding. It is so easy to compare and feel that everyone else has it together. Remember, people only share the highlights. Those who are struggling or hate their jobs or get laid off don’t tend to share that. I know you may feel like others are doing better but being 22 and making 50k a year and saving 75% of your income is a BIG success. You are very fortunate. It may not seem that way. I understand you may feel unimportant but you are very early in your career and it is normal to feel “unimportant” so early on. You have a lot of time ahead to grow, get promoted, earn more, and get more responsibility. You are doing great- I don’t say that to make you settle, I say that to encourage you that you are doing well.
Some people are in their 30s and not even making $40K and here you are worrying for nothing.
I am not sure in which state you live at, but try to save for the next 2 years and work on your master’s degree as well so that by the time you are 24 or 25 you have your master’s degree and you ready to rent your own space even if it’s a studio.
So yeah, you are just impatient. 😝
