Here are 5 signs that prove you're not paid that badly:
1. Your salary is at the median income level for French people
—which is currently 2,150 euros net per month. Are you close to this level, above it, or far below it?
If you choose the last option, you might want to consider your income level.
2. Job listings for the same position
: Check the listings available on websites that provide salary transparency and make sure that, for the same job title as yours, the salary ranges are consistent. Don’t forget to also compare them with positions that require the same level of experience as yours and are in the same region.
3. No additional tasks to perform since you were hired
If your responsibilities do not go beyond the scope of your job description and you feel that your role has remained the same since you started, it is sometimes normal for your salary not to see a significant increase
4. If you’ve compared your pay to that of your colleagues
in the same position, you might find that you actually earn more than your colleague…
Depending on experience or hire dates, pay ranges vary. If you notice significant disparities within the same team, ask your manager for clarification.
5. Are you able to pay your everyday bills and treat yourself
? A decent salary should also allow you to afford some leisure activities and save a little money. If you feel like you’re barely making ends meet at the end of every month, it’s time to negotiate a raise or look for other career opportunities!
