INPUT NEEDED: Debating if I should work at McDonald's again. I would like to go back part-time at the beginning of the…

@abeljames2015 You are correct, I live in California as well. Would you feel comfortable applying at another location and just negotiating the pay rate that's congruent with your years of experience? I did that with my last job, they hired me on; however, tried to pay wayyyyy less because I never worked in their particular environment of the medical field. I respectively told them "I have the credentials + 11 years of experience, with that being said. If I come onto your team, I'm going to be an valuable asset, and I would like my salary to be reflective of that fact? They were trying to pay me $9.25 per hour, I requested $17.50 per hour, they gave me $18.75 per hour. Nevertheless, I know not all people are effective at such negotiations, so if you are, I say go for it. However, if you just need to start bringing in money ASAP. I would accept the job from your old boss, and take it from their.

@Imcinnamonsmom2007, I'm in California. In the Bay Area they make $15/hr. but not in the Central Valley.

Not good money? Where at? out here, at some MacDonalds they are getting paid $15.00 per hour. What state are you in? My little brother just got a job at Pizza Hut making $11.25 per hour. It's happeing slowly, however many fast food places are paying over $11.00 per hour. Lastly, a job is a job as long as your not doing anything unholy, it's fine, especially if you have one on lock already. Take it, spend and save wisely, then move on to something better.

I would 😊
