“So shall we meet up again soon?” reads a text from a guy. Although I’ve had fun dates with him, he’s been flaky with arranging them, and is either all or nothing with his texting. I’m never sure if I’m about to be ghosted, or if a flurry of messages written with teenage intensity are about to land. When I write it down like that, none of it suits or reflects who I am or what I want, and it all makes me recoil at the thought of seeing him again.

In our series Salary Stories, women with long-term career experience open up about the most intimate details of their jobs: compensation. It’s an honest look at how real people navigate the complicated world of negotiating, raises, promotions and job loss, with the hope it will give young women more insight into how to advocate for themselves — and maybe take a few risks along the way. Been in the workforce for at least five years and interested in contributing your salary story?

After a day of typing thousands of words, there’s nothing that shuts my brain down quicker than a long WhatsApp essay or four-minute voice note (which, by the way, I’m guilty of sending, too). Even if I love the person messaging me, it can sometimes still feel like a lot of mental effort is needed to reply to the message.
