Human Resources (HR) Manager - (City withheld for privacy), Florida, United States
I'm a 30yr old white male with a Master's Degree in HRM and about 2 years experience, I make $60,000. I am a Human Resources Manager for a small company in Fl.

According to other job offers salary surveys and friends, I do believe I am being fairly paid. Make no mistake I earn what I make.

The advice I always give to anyone complaining about pay or jobs, is to find another one. Even if you don't take it, you have something to work with.

My first year at my current job I was making apx $53,000 a year. I felt like the job I was doing was worth much more. I know from the business we are doing the company can easily afford to pay me a better salary. So I upgraded my resume on careerbuilder for $150. I had another job offer with-in a month for about $59,000.

I turned in my 2 week notice for a job I had no intention of taking. After receiving my notice my employeer came to me and offered me about a 10% raise to stay.

FYI: if you turn in a notice or talk about leaving and your boss has nothing to say but ok, you aren't doing a very good job...

I treat my job just like any other business, if it is bad or the price(salary) is not right I'll go somewhere else. They either correct it or find my replacement.
