image and video tutor
Hi all! I started working as an image and video tutor about a month ago. So far, I like the job and the team, but there is something bugging me. I have experience as a filmmaker and video artist, yet I got an offer on the lower side of what is usually payed for. I don't really understand the reason. I met another person who graduated from the same university as me (different specialisation though) and he is getting a much better deal than me, for the same job. I am also a woman. I am based in Europe and it's first time for me working within a corporation or an American company. It's also the first time I work in AI, but I have a pretty good portfolio in my field. Still, I heard a lot about female workers getting a much lesser wage than men, for the same tasks. Did anyone encounter it or do you think they decide based on other criteria? Could the war in Iran be influencing these fluctuations, knowing that my acquaintance was hired 3 months ago, so before everything started...
Thanks a lot! Curious to hear your thoughts.
