Full Episode
I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand. It's time for some money rehab.
Hi, I'm Claire Wasserman, the founder and author of Ladies Get Paid, a podcast, coaching practice, and newsletter that helps women embrace their worth inside and out. I'm so honored to be guest hosting for Nicole while she is out on maternity leave, although just a bit of a heads up, my hosting style is different in that I don't just interview guests, I actually coach them.
And today I'm going to be talking to Jay, who has been stuck in the same role with the same pay for the past four years. So this episode is perfect for anybody who is looking to grow, grow their paycheck, grow their title, grow their skill set. I'll be giving you and Jay practical strategies for your next move. Let's dive in. Hey, Jay, thanks so much for being here with me today.
If you could give me a little bit of context to the situation that you're in and how I could best support you, I'll do my best to support you.
That sounds awesome. Yeah. So I'm Jay. I work for a multinational global analytics and decision tools company, and specifically in the education sphere with medical education. So there's all sorts of different things that we do, but I primarily work on a software. I'm a product owner or product manager. Probably part of my problem is that we're kind of in flux between those two.
titles at the moment. But I've worked at this position for about four years. I started very inexperienced and certainly underqualified. My former boss basically suggested that I should go into this role. And I really appreciated his because I would not have taken that step without it. But that means that I came in feeling already very underqualified.
And so I think that's definitely contributed to how I currently feel pretty stagnant in my role. I've definitely learned a lot. I don't think that I've been behind on anything, but I don't feel necessarily like I've had great coaching up to this point in terms of career growth. I think in terms of the specific role and what I do on a daily basis, I think I'm killing it.
I get good feedback, but in terms of what's the next step, where do I go from here? I feel comfortable, but I also want I mean, I would like raise, I would like, you know, maybe the next level up on my title. And so I just haven't quite figured out how to prove that, how to navigate the corporate structure, those kinds of things.
Okay. I got very excited when you said the kind of company that you work for, because I think we can make a good connection for the last guest that I coach on this podcast, who is a nurse looking to go into healthcare tech. Oh, awesome. Hey, if anything... Maybe I can't help you, but I can help the other woman. Or maybe she can replace you when you leave. No, let's not have you leave just yet.
