One of the most important things you can learn is that employers benefit more from your employment than you do. Once you've taken that lesson to heart, you discover that you can negotiate the spread between "what you offer" and "what you get" such that the situation is stable long-term. It takes self-esteem and self-awareness to understand your own value to an organization but once you have it, life gets better. Congratulations.
