This life, each stage has things to do and distances that can be calculated.

First Entry into the Labor Market

You are priced, and this price is set by others

You are priced, and this price is set by others

Distress→Need→Economic Principles→Desire→Gap→Path

1Distress · What will they say

Is it normal for the first job to have a low salary
Why does someone else get more for the same work
Should I accept a low salary to gain experience
How do I know how much I'm worth
Am I being exploited
Should I go to a big company

2Real Need · How to verify

It's not about "low salary," but "I first realized: my time is priced, and I have no idea how this price is determined."

Verification Signals (count as valid if two or more are met):
 · Don't know the market price for the same position
 · Blame the low salary entirely on "I have no experience"
 · No bargaining awareness

3Economic Principles · What is happening in this stage

Capital Theory / Economics

Wages are the price of labor, which is determined by three things:
① The supply of this kind of work (how many people can do it)
② The value you can create (marginal output)
③ Your bargaining power (do you know the market price)

The newbies are most likely to suffer from the third one — not because they are not capable, but because they don't know their own price. Information gap is the space for price reduction.

4Desire · What does it look like

Know how much I'm worth

Not undervalued

Have bargaining power

5Gap · How to judge

What to look at

Understanding of market price · Bargaining experience · Transferable skills

How to judge

Do you know the market price for the same position; have you negotiated salary

Health status

Understand market price · Negotiated once · Have transferable skills

6Gap · Divided into three levels

MildKnow roughly but don't dare to negotiate → Practice
ModerateCompletely unaware of the market price → Look up
SevereLong-term below market price and not aware → Need action

7Common Misconceptions · The wrong path

Accept without asking for the market price — It's like giving up your right to price yourself

Blame the low salary entirely on "no experience" — Sometimes it's just being undervalued

Only look at salary, not growth — But you can't always be undervalued

Don't dare to negotiate — It's better to know the market than not

Jump frequently but nottargeted — Start negotiating from scratch every time

8The right path

Find out the market price for the same position (ask peers, look at recruitment)

Start negotiating salary from the first time, even if you're rejected

Write a sentence about "what I can create"

Choose a path that can accumulate, not just look at starting salary

Remember: your price can be negotiated, but the premise is that you know your price
