A lot of time it is hard to benchmark our salaries and even ministries say they have a band but does not disclose it. We always want more! But beware don't scale the spending up.

Truth is stranger than fiction when I see males moving up three levels in four years, because there is a gap in manpower.

Then when it comes to me, as I am a female I need to prove myself to get promoted by performance, while the rest can get promoted by potential. And you see people at the top covering each other and I can only suck it up.

I ain't getting a bad deal, just not that motivated because of how the environment keeps pushing me away.

Now working maximising the dollar. Put the savings to work in investments and others.
