Our latest budget breakdown features a 32-year-old VP of People Ops in Durham, NC, on a $14,700 monthly salary.

"When I graduated in July 2022 with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Technology, I found myself asking the classic question: what next? The uncertainty that followed was overwhelming. As a recent graduate, I was filled with both excitement and anxiety about stepping into the professional world. Job hunting began with referrals and online applications on platforms like Glassdoor and Indeed, but I quickly realized that the market was highly competitive. Despite my efforts, I received no feedback. The silence was discouraging, but I chose to see it as a sign to keep pushing forward." Cheryl Owala shares how she found her place in tech as a recent graduate. Read the full story here: https://bit.ly/4cKSLEk

"Rejections are hard. In my search, I focused on roles I was excited about, so it was always challenging to get the news that I would not be moving forward or that they chose the other candidate. I let myself feel sad for what could have been but then would remind myself that the rejection meant that the role wasn’t right for me and the right role was waiting." Jessica Overbeck shares advice and lessons learned from navigating a long job search. 👉 Full post: https://bit.ly/3MhM5mC #womenintech #longjobsearch #jobhunting #jobinterview #rejection

Our latest budget breakdown features a 32-year-old, unemployed Senior Software Engineer living in New Haven, CT. 💡 She wants to know: "How do you go about applying for jobs that are not what you’ve crafted your resume/career to for years? For example, local part-time work or something in a different field that may have some transferable skills. I find it difficult to even approach these with a completely irrelevant resume. How do I find someone reliable for financial advising or, more importantly, for doing my taxes next year? I’ll definitely need extra help. Finally - what are some unique ways you cut costs and spend less?" 👉 Read the full budget breakdown: https://bit.ly/4dzSMMG #budgeting #budgetbreakdown #softwareengineer #SWE #womenintech
