Be that as it may, I wouldn't recommend TS to change job now because a place that will accommodate her health issues won't be easy to come by. Changing in the current covid environment also compounds the risk - people take big issue with any one that coughs and if TS is new to a company, chances are the people won't take kindly to her coughing. The finances of businesses are also less stable due to the covid recession.
$4k after 6 years is indeed low. However, i was amazed by how forumer was saying how fresh grad can earn 4.8k - 6k? Are they selling their butt or what? Quite impossible. If it's this way, every one can be 20k within 10years.
