      You’re so severely underpaid that it’s genuinely concerning. Who do you work for?

        That’s the reality of having 1 year of experience in Canada. I’ll probably get a raise soon. I hope so at least

          At two years experience, start job hunting. Your pay bump from leaving will be better than anything you make by staying.

          My employer considers canada a form of off shoring.

      I made scraps for a couple years when I first started in the industry but landed a pretty sweet job on a whim. I say keep an eye out and be sure to have a decent portfolio (though admittedly mine was nowhere near perfect)!

        I’m not worried haha, I’ve just this month completed my first year of experience at the company I work at. But I have to say I’m so envious of US salaries

          They can start that low as well (or not that higher). The only advice for you is to not trust any promises of raises in your current company. It is always easier to get a higher raise by jumping ship.
