I am 38, I finished my degree 2 years ago. I moved to Texas. Started an entry level job, got promoted in 11 months.
I was given my choice for the promotion Management for a high salary or the next level in the company at a better salary.
Due to health issues I took the next level job.
Obviously my level of commitment at work played a good part in the promotion. But the Bachelor Degree helped to open
the doors.
I am a foreigner in the US, I might be experienced but still it takes me longer to understand/ assimilate in society, I am not perfect either.
Still, I try to follow all management feedback in order to improve.
While I do not trust the economic situation in the US. I know that I will get ahead eventually.
