Quick little thread on my job search out of higher ed! You will be rewarded with a pretty great resource at the end! 1/8

At the beginning of my search, I was very keyed into specific job titles, but wasn't keeping track of companies or organizations. A few months into things, I realized I would see a job posted that was interesting, but not a great fit for my interests or skills. 2/8
I realized that job wasn't the only job they would ever post, so I started tracking the *organizations.* I would check each of their HR pages for positions that were more closely aligned for my skills and often not posted on traditional job boards like LinkedIn or Indeed. 3/8

I am seeing a massive number of higher ed jobs with salaries under 30,000.

It’s 2021.
Everything costs more generally but even more so BC of the panoramic.

Has anyone considered how completely unethical it is to offer this substandard salary generally but especially now??
The worse part is, some of the salaries *for full-time employment* are similar to those of graduate students who only work part-time AND report they can't afford to live off these salaries?

The burden and disparities this is and will continue to cause higher ed are profound.
For one, most first-gen and low-income graduates cannot afford to exist with these salaries when they have no social safety net. That means your applicant pool will be full of people who can afford to take a low salary for "experience" because they have other resources.
