Looking for a new job and shocked at how low salaries are compared to the job criteria and experience. For someone with 8 years experience (academic coordinator) roles are max. 85k! Considering the COL situation in Oz, how are people living on these wages?

Definitely not living it up thats for sure. Even small luxuries like lunch out once every few weeks, is starting to be off the table. I understand employers have costs, so they have to factor that in, but it makes you wonder how much longer all of this can carry on for.
