In therapy, yet, so I have a bonified witness.
I was talking about my latest job interview and that the interviewer before she set up a face to face asked what salary I was looking for. I told her X, usually I dance around it and say it's negotiable. I need to hear about the job...
My T asked if I was worried about giving an actual amount and I said *if I said anything less than X I'm devaluing myself. I am worth more than X.*
She looked around the room and said *who else is in this room? I heard someone with positive self esteem say she didn't want to devalue herself.*
At today's interview salary wasn't mentioned, but she knows my current crap wage and she agreed I am underpaid. Pray I get the job and it pays X or better! I really would be good at it. Geez, was that more self esteem?
