Hi, I'm approaching my 2 years working as an accountant at a small-mid sized firm getting quite underpaid for my role. I started as a graduate there.
I've talked to a recruiter and had a couple of interviews which made me realise that I could be better valued somewhere else. Around this time I also accidentally discovered that someone in the same position as me is getting 10k more than me a year.
I thought it wouldn't hurt too much to also go to my employer and express my concerns to see if I can get a pay rise.
However, I have more or less shot myself in the foot recently as my performance hasn't been up to "standard". I used to be very passionate and would have an insane output
