See the Entry-Level Salaries for 28 Jobs You Want

Whether you’re a newly minted graduate on the hunt for a job or looking to make the switch to an entirely different career, talking about salaries can be daunting. It’s impossible to figure out what you’re worth when you have nothing to compare it to, which is where Levo’s 2015 Entry-Level Salary Report comes in. We asked everyone from friends of friends to members of empowering groups like mentorship nonprofit Step Up what they make, and better yet, exactly how they feel about the money that hits their bank account every payday. Here, we’re giving you the salary low-down from entry-level women in fields like publishing, banking, medicine, and more. Read on so when you need to #ask4more, you can do it with all the confidence in the world.

$22,000 “Going into the fashion media industry, I knew it was going to be hard work, long hours and overall extremely competitive. Throughout this journey, my motto has always been ‘dream hard, work harder.’ I want to make my passion a reality and work in a career field that I truly love and want to work in for the rest of my life. I know with passion comes sacrifice, and I am willing to strive to achieve my dreams. I know the money will come later if the dedication, focus and hard work ethic come first.” —Julia, 23, fashion editorial contributor

$26,400 + commissions/bonuses “Obviously I’m not very pleased with the amount I am making, but it’s ultimately up to me if I’ll make more than my base. I came out of school wanting to get away from the sports world. I’ve been involved with it my entire life and wanted a break. I love the place I work and the people around me are awesome. Although I have only been in the sales world for a few weeks, I know this is not a lot to live on…and it definitely doesn’t support my shopping addiction.” —Nicole, 25, sales representative

$28,700 + overtime “I started off making $28,000 plus overtime, which will add up to about $35,000 a year, but I started shortly before our yearly review and raise process. Obviously, I’d like to make more, but I love my job, and I honestly don’t have any problems paying my rent, my car payments, my student loan payments, phone bills and buying groceries/necessities. Plus, I still have some money left over for fun and entertainment. I really thought I wouldn’t be able to live in the city making that amount, but it’s easy if you’re smart with your money. People who make more probably look down on my salary, but I highly doubt their job is as awesome. I do think I’m worth a lot more, and that’s why I initially tried to negotiate a higher salary, but I couldn’t be as assertive as I wanted to because I wasn’t in the best position. I wanted to break into the industry, like thousands of other recent grads, and when they asked if I would turn down the job if they couldn’t give me the salary increase, I just didn’t feel comfortable saying yes. I said I’d still consider it, so of course they said they couldn’t do it. It was a good learning experience, and I think now that I’m in I’ll be much more willing to ask for more when I’m applying for other jobs in the future.” —Mary, 24, editorial assistant

$30,000 “For those who work in fashion, it’s never a surprise how much money we’re not making. My salary goes directly to bills, and I pay for my social life by babysitting. I still struggle over the fact that companies truly believe a young adult — saddled with astronomical rent, bills and let’s not forget student loans — can afford to live in New York City on almost nothing. Still, we youngin’s find a way to do it. I like to think that’s the point rather than people being stingy: if you can make it on nothing in New York City, you can make anything work, at any time, in any place.” —Yvonne, 24, digital PR coordinator

$30,000 + overtime for special events “I am an on-air personality on two radio stations and production director of the entire cluster. I do two four-hour air shifts a day Monday-Friday while simultaneously writing, voicing, and producing all the commercials that are played on our five radio stations. I am essentially doing three full-time jobs for the price of one. I am the only person at my job of 50 employees that does this. The special events are usually on weekends, so to make more than $30K a year, I have to sacrifice the majority of my weekends of rest and relaxation. I am also the youngest employee by 10+ years, all while going to school full time. It’s a lot of work for not a lot of money — at least not enough money to actually take my paid vacation and go somewhere other than my couch.” —Gisele, 24, radio host and production director

$33,000 “From what I can tell, my salary is generally pretty good for entry-level in the field of social work. I’m a case manager at a youth center, and I absolutely love my job. I wish there were more ways to make a better salary and still work in direct service, but it seems like all the higher paying jobs in social work are administrative or director positions. I want to work with the community directly, so it looks like I’ll have to be happy with a living wage.” —Sarah, 24, case manager

$33,500 “The only reason I’m comfortable working in publishing right now is because I’m living at home. I really enjoy publishing, but I want to afford to live on my own while also having a bit of a personal life, so I’m open to going into other fields. It’s very frustrating that New York is the capital of arts and publishing, but those industries pay entry-level workers almost too little to actually live here.” —Julia, 23, publicity assistant at a publishing house

$35,000 “I always knew that when I graduated college I wanted to work for an organization that helped people. Now, I’m lucky to work for a non-profit that impacts the lives of teen girls and supports their education. Although I work as an executive assistant and don’t get paid much, I feel I make a difference in the work I do. That’s what keeps me going. Being an assistant in communications at a non-profit has given me an incredible learning experience and professional opportunities I would not have found elsewhere. The non-profit I work for also supports me as I finish my Master’s in communication at USC, which I am extremely grateful for. When the time is right, I feel prepared and ready to take the next step in my career.” —Amanda, 24, executive/PR assistant in nonprofit communications

$35,000 + overtime and bonus “All together I make over $40,000, which is pretty great for a first job with just a Bachelor’s in Chemistry. But I also have a Master’s degree, so it’s hard to find a job that doesn’t require three+ years of experience too. One big thing I had to accept was that I may not be getting paid as much as my education is worth right away. I really do enjoy my job and value the experience I’m gaining though, which is what matters to me at this point.” —Melinda, 24, chemist

$37,000 “Most of my friends work in finance or consulting and make more than double what I make. It’s frustrating to hear them complain about how much they work when I work just as much, and for a salary that sometimes averages out to be less than minimum wage when you take my hours into account. I definitely live paycheck to paycheck, but my salary is a standard for the industry, so I know I just have to power through and pay my dues until things get easier.” —Dana, 24, public relations assistant account executive

$37,440 + overtime and bonuses “I knew that starting out I would be at the bottom, but I see pros and cons to my position. I’m at a relatively small company, so I am gaining experience in a number of sales/marketing/production/customer care fields. I am also excited about the industry I work in and the opportunity I have to move up within the company I work for. I try not to compare my pay and lifestyle to friends, but I probably fall somewhere in the middle. Compared to people my age I feel like I got lucky, because I’m not a college graduate waiting tables. But I also have a lot of friends that are older with more work experience, and a lot of male friends who definitely make more money than I do.” —Ali, 22, customer care representative

$41,000 “I’m fine with my salary. I’d say if it were a scale of 1-10, I’m at a 7 of happiness. I wouldn’t mind if it were higher, but I understand with my industry that it’s tough to get a cushy salary. I ultimately want to be a film/television director, but my work is all right. I’m still learning, so that makes it worth it.” —Catie, 24, assistant producer for an ad agency

$45,000 + bonus “I had always heard to expect not to earn much your first job out of college, but I wanted to challenge myself to find the right cultural fit with a compensation package that made me feel like the company valued my contributions. With base plus bonus, I brought in about $65,000 this past year and I am on pace to exceed that this upcoming year. I feel confident being in a work environment where my opinions matter, my hard work is recognized and my achievements are rewarded financially.” —Michelle, 22, finance recruiter

$48,000 “My salary may sound OK, but when you factor in what it costs to live, eat, and have a social life in the city, the budget can be tight! On the bright side, the salary does increase a small percentage each year, and getting your Master’s increases your salary as well. It’s a difficult job, and one that does not end when the bell rings, but it is extremely rewarding. Summers are pretty great, too!” —Caitlin, 26, 6th grade teacher

$48,000 “I think my salary is miserable and embarrassing because I’m doing the work of two people. My company laid off a lot of people in 4Q last year. They have now hired people in my department, but not on my team, so it’s really frustrating. I got laterally moved to this position in February and was told that I couldn’t ask for more money off the bat and instead had to wait at least a year because I had not proven myself. My boss is hoping that if they promote him, he will be able to justify getting me a promotion. I’m hoping if I’m loyal and stick it out, it’ll pay off. I wish I made more since I can’t afford to move out of my parents’ house because of what I make. It’s a huge sacrifice for me to save $500 a month, but I’m doing it.” —Ibis, 25, media planning specialist

$48,000 + time differentials and overtime “I’m a social worker in the Emergency Department at a children’s hospital. I knew I wanted to be in the medical field after my second-year placement in graduate school. I stayed in a newly created position at the hospital I was already working at part-time as I started working at the children’s hospital, but they were able to eventually hire a full-time clinician for that role. I continue to have odd hours in my full-time role (mostly 2:00 p.m.-midnight shifts on a rotating schedule where I work every other weekend). I knew I would be giving up some of my social life by accepting a job at the children’s hospital, but the pay for an entry-level social work role is quite decent due to being in a medical setting. I’m hoping I can move into a more regular daytime schedule within the year.” —Cristina, 27, licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) clinician

$50,000 “In comparison to my journalism friends in the city, I’m making great money. I’m at a very stable company with good benefits, but I don’t like my job. The work I do now doesn’t make me happy, and I have a terrible shift of working 2:00-10:00 p.m. No happy hours, no clubs, no classes. I know this is a stepping stone that I just have to go through, and things are changing. I’m going to stick it out because I feel like opportunities are coming.” —Maria, 24, video producer

$52,000 + overtime “Ever since I learned the art of networking at age 15, I’ve made incredible connections, gained tons of experience and paved my own path to where I am now. I went to school for Arts Management and graduated in 2014 with my Bachelor’s Degree. I’m the first in my family to do so, and it definitely felt great. I knew that I wanted to do something in the entertainment industry. I loved action, behind-the-scenes and music, but I didn’t know exactly what field would have all of that. But of course, everything falls in place when it should, and I got an email from the person who is now my boss. I’d introduced myself to her last year when she gave a speech at a fundraiser, and I always kept in touch. She was emailing because she’d recently started her new gig at Condé and needed people on her team, and thought of me since I never lost touch with her… even though she barely replied. Because of networking, I have a job that I love. I work with talent (I research and book celebrities, influencers, entrepreneurs, speakers, etc.) and I also work with production. It is very fast-paced industry, but I love the adrenaline and challenges it gives me at the end of the day.” —Astrid, 22, talent and production coordinator

$54,065 “I’m really excited to finally have a salary after so many years of education, especially since it’s a job I’ve always dreamed of! I’m in a Family Medicine residency. I love Family Medicine since I get to treat everyone from babies to grandparents. I get to see my patients repeatedly and establish that special doctor/patient relationship of trust and being ‘their doctor.’ Student loans are rough but I’m still very happy with the amount I’ll be making.” Victoria, 24, first-year resident physician

$55,000 “I work in the construction industry. As someone who just graduated with a master’s degree in civil engineering, I have a lot of friends and family giving me shit about my salary, telling me that I make way less than I should and that I should definitely look for a new job that makes $70,000 at least. Personally, I feel very lucky to even have a job doing something that I actually enjoy and making a decent amount, especially since I just came out of school with virtually zero experience. I don’t plan on quitting. However, I do know that if I ever want to support some kids or the aging parents, I’ll need either a partner’s income or a higher one of my own. —Angela, 25, project manager

$21.50 an hour +overtime “I started at $21 an hour a year ago at my current position. I average about 50 hours a week, and take home about $15 an hour post-tax and 401K. I’m satisfied with my earnings, especially since there’s always work to do and if I need a few extra hours, I’m always allowed to work them. Living in New York City, if my hours got limited, I would have to start budgeting really strictly. It’s an expensive city and I feel like I’m just above the minimum of what you have to make here to not live paycheck to paycheck.” —Maxi, 25, camera technician

$58,000 “I just graduated from law school, so I’m starting out at entry level this fall! I’m in a semi-unique situation in that I’m starting out with a one-year federal clerkship. I feel thankful for that salary considering my boyfriend is going into a mid-size law firm and making $50K, but at the same time, it sucks because I have about $140K of student loans that need to be paid back. So I’m okay with the amount, but it sucks in the sense that I have so much debt for this degree. Plus, people tend to think that lawyers make bank, but most of us actually don’t start off that high.”—Ann, 27, federal law clerk

$58,250 “I’m a contractor, so that’s roughly what I make working 40 hours a week. If I work more hours than that, I make more money. Because of my student loans, I don’t have a lot of spending money after paying off that and other bills each month. I would want to make more, and have seen others in similar positions making a bit more, but getting that amount was incredible. I was pretty strapped financially when I first graduated, so the relief of making more felt really good.” —Joanna, 25, health policy contractor

$60,000 “I put 25 percent away before taxes, so I really see only half. It helps me manage better since I can’t keep up with putting money away after it’s in my account. Even with a significant chunk of savings, I have enough to cover bills each month and do something extra like going to a concert or buying a new outfit. The ‘fun money’ varies and sometimes is spent on less fun things such as car repairs. I also get to travel a lot for work, so I always feel like I’m doing something fun, even when the extra cash is spent on the ‘grown up’ stuff like insurance payments.” —Grace, 23, public policy manager for a private nonprofit organization

$66,000 for 193 duty days “I’m definitely happy with my salary at the start of my new career. It did take a lot of time and effort (three years of grad school after college) to get to the starting point, but it was worth it to me. It also helps to be doing what I love. In my profession, I get to work closely with lots of different people (kids, families, educators, administrators) on a daily basis, and my role varies each day (psychoeducational assessment, academic and behavioral consultation, counseling, etc.) so the job is never boring. Though we only have to work 193 days a year, the hours can be quite tedious and work frequently ends up getting done at home after dinner and occasionally on the weekends. When you divide up the salary by the number of hours worked, sometimes it seems as if I could be making the same at a lower-stress job. However, when you find something you’re passionate about, it becomes less about the dollars per hour and more about how you feel at the end of each day. I’m definitely looking forward to many years to come in this profession!” —Stephanie, 30, school psychologist

$70,000 + $10,000 signing bonus “I interviewed for jobs in consulting at large global firms, at specialized boutique firms, and everything in between. I did not necessarily have any expectations of how much I could/would make coming out of college until the offers started coming. I was actually pretty surprised by the results given I studied the History of Science and didn’t necessarily have any practical business skills. When compared to my peers who are not all in consulting and i-banking, it’s clear that there’s a large disparity in incomes. Seeing as we all work similar hours, it’s pretty disheartening to see a good friend making half as much as me, but working just as much as I do.” —Alyssa, 24, general management consultant

$78,000 “I never went into psychology for the money. It was very clear from the start that you will never be paid what you’re worth. That being said, I am grateful to have the starting salary I have with less than five years experience, including my time as a postdoctoral fellow. I am newly licensed and working to obtain national board certification, which will likely add a monetary boost. I can absolutely say it’s worth the time and effort I have put in over the years — even with student loan debt equivalent to a six-bedroom brand new fully upgraded house!” —Mykea, 34, clinical psychologist

$85,000 + $10,000 signing bonus + $35,000-55,000 year-end bonus “No one I know in investment banking is really happy. It’s something that smart but directionless kids looking for prestige or the stereotypical money-chasing kids do. You have no control over your life and are expected to respond to emails and phone calls at all hours (Saturday at 3:00 a.m. is not unheard of). You definitely aren’t struggling, but the perks aren’t great compared to more people-friendly industries like tech. This industry has a high turnover because people seek better hours or better pay. Most people don’t last beyond two years at the junior level. I’ll be leaving the industry in August to pursue a career in software engineering.” —Lynn, 22, investment banker

Advancements in technology and shifting consumer behavior are constantly shaping the job market and causing it to evolve. So, some careers that have stood the test of time are becoming obsolete and facing numbered days.

Whether we like it or not, here are 10 outdated careers that may soon be a thing of the past because emerging fields are paving a new way forward.

Scroll to see which outdated careers might disappear sooner rather than later...

1. Warehouse Workers

EqualStock IN

Warehouse jobs, particularly those in large distribution centers for companies like Amazon, are at high risk of being replaced by automation. With the development of AI and advanced robots, companies are looking to automate tasks like order fulfillment, inventory management, and packaging.

Automation offers the advantage of 24/7 operation without the need for breaks or sleep, making it more efficient than human labor. Leaders like Elon Musk have acknowledged that making a full switch will be challenging. Nonetheless, the shift toward technology-driven warehouses is undeniable, and many traditional jobs will likely be transformed or phased out.

2. Librarians

Tima Miroshnichenko

Being a librarian was once viewed as a vital and secure profession. Now, digital tech has changed the way we access information, and with the rise of e-books, audiobooks, and online databases, fewer people are relying on physical libraries for their reading and research needs.

Plus, as books become more affordable and accessible, the traditional library model, which is centered around physical book rentals, is becoming less relevant. So, even though it's unlikely that libraries are going to disappear entirely, the role of librarians may shift toward digital management and online services.

3. Ride-Share Drivers

cottonbro studio

Drivers for taxi companies, as well as ride-share apps like Uber and Lyft, are facing an uncertain future as autonomous vehicles become more advanced. Self-driving cars, which are powered by artificial intelligence, are set to revolutionize the transportation industry and possibly eliminate the need for human drivers.

These vehicles will use apps to identify riders, calculate fares, and complete payments, all without any human intervention. This means the role of the traditional ride-share driver may no longer be necessary.

4. Customer Service Reps

Mart Production

AI and chatbots are increasingly replacing customer service representatives, too, as they're capable of handling a wide range of inquiries and issues. These AI-driven systems may offer faster and more efficient solutions and, in turn, eliminate long wait times for customers trying to speak to a human representative.

This, coupled with the fact that chatbots can operate 24/7, will help companies streamline their operations and cut costs. That's why many customer service roles are already being phased out.

5. Legal Secretaries

August de Richelieu

Even legal secretaries are facing threats due to AI-powered tools, which can handle tasks like legal research, document drafting, and contract management. These technologies are automating a lot of the routine work that once required humans and reducing the demand for legal secretaries in law firms.

Now, this role probably won't be completely replaced by AI. Even so, the automation of basic functions could still lead to lower overall staffing needs, particularly for paralegals and junior legal assistants.

6. Cashiers

Andrea Piacquadio

Walk into your local supermarket, and you'll see that technology has already begun to take over traditional checkout processes. With the rise of self-checkout kiosks, mobile payment options like Apple Pay, and even cryptocurrency transactions, the need for human cashiers is steadily decreasing.

Retailers like Amazon have already introduced cashier-free convenience stores, and other companies may follow in their footsteps.

7. Referees

Pixabay

Not even sports fields seem to be safe from the rise of AI. In fact, referees are increasingly being sidelined as technology takes a more prominent role in officiating sports.

Systems like goal-line technology and Video Assistant Referee (VAR) have already proven that AI can make more accurate and unbiased calls than humans. Another appeal of automated officiating lies in its ability to reduce controversial decisions that spark arguments among players, coaches, and fans.

8. Translators

Ketut Subiyanto

As AI-powered translation tools become more sophisticated, translators are facing stiff competition, too. These systems, which were once limited to basic word-for-word translation, are getting better at understanding context, tone, and nuance.

The improvement of machine learning will also allow for vast amounts of text across various languages to be processed simultaneously, increasing its accuracy. So, the demand for traditional translation services is expected to decline in the wake of faster and cheaper AI solutions.

9. Computer Programmers

Julio Lopez

AI-driven coding tools are advancing as well. Automated programming assistants and open-source AI libraries are streamlining many routine coding tasks, like debugging, code generation, and even basic software development.

Skilled developers will likely still be needed for complex problem-solving and other, more creative software design projects. But, developers whose roles focus on repetitive tasks may see reduced demand.

10. Dispatchers

Mart Production

Finally, human dispatchers may gradually be replaced by AI systems that can manage logistics, emergency responses, and customer inquiries. Things like advanced GPS tracking, automated scheduling, and real-time data processing allow AI to handle dispatch tasks with little human help.

Some cities have already implemented AI for non-emergency calls, slashing the need for human operators on the other end of the phone.

I've been on the edge of my seat for Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson's Verity (even before I saw It Ends With Us), and after hearing about the first look that aired at CinemaCon this week, the internet is even more locked in on the “gothic, psychosexual thriller” (as the film's described by director Mike Showalter) than they've ever been.

Here's what the Verity cast, including Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett, had to say about the new movie from Colleen Hoover.

What is Verity about?

Any Colleen Hoover fan knows the Verity movie revolves around Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson), who gets hired by Jeremy Crawford (Josh Hartnett) to finish his wife's novels. Renowned author Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway) is no longer able to write after a tragic accident, but what begins as an exciting project takes a turn for the horrifying when Lowen discovers Verity is hiding a terrible secret.

Anne Hathaway promises 'Verity' is worth "waiting for."

At Amazon MGM's CinemaCon presentation, the Verity cast, Colleen Hoover, and Mike Showalter offered attendees a new look at the movie via video message.

“My character Verity Crawford is an accomplished author with a tragic past,” Anne said, while Dakota joked, “Or is she?”

Josh added, “My character, Jeremy Crawford, is a devoted husband who’s committed to protecting his wife’s legacy.”

“Or is he?” Dakota said again.

“One thing we can say for sure is that seeing Verity in theaters will give fans the shared experience they’ve been waiting for," Anne promised.

And everyone's losing it over the "wild" footage from CinemaCon!

The presentation also included the first trailer for the movie, which showed Verity and Jeremy meeting at a bar — which explains those iconic set leaks of Anne Hathaway and Josh Hartnettrunning through the streets of New York! And when Jeremy's introduced to Lowen and brings her to their giant home, he tells her "she's the only writer who can do this"...and then they begin their own illicit affair. And as they have a hot make out sesh on the couch, Lowen realizes she's kissing Verity and not Jeremy. Wow.

"Just saw the first footage for VERITY starring Josh Hartnett, Anne Hathaway, and Dakota Johnson," @JoeySpielberg says on X. It looks like it’s gonna be good but I honestly couldn’t tell you the plot is but it’s definitely gonna be wild. Seems like a movie you just don’t know what happens next."

"The footage showcases a sexy, mind-bending thriller," @howatdk agrees.

We're sure to see many more shocks and surprises when Verity hits theaters May 15, 2026.

Check out the 10 Most-Anticipated Book-To-Film Adaptations We Can't Wait To See In 2025.

Probably everyone would agree that "adulting" is challenging, but nothing is quite as tough as initially launching your career. You're new to the field and uncomfortable, so you're bound to have some awkward moments, missteps, or simply embarrassing situations.

Thankfully, these bumps in the road teach us lessons that we can grow from. Nonetheless, it can still be funny to reflect (and laugh) about those cringe-worthy experiences down the line.

So, a bunch of women recently took to Reddit to share some of the most embarrassing things they did during the early days of their careers, and we've compiled their best stories.

Scroll to see all the most embarrassing things these women admitted to doing at work!

1. She thought a colleague was flirting. Spoiler alert: he wasn't.

Viktoria Slowikowska

"I was new to my role and attending a networking event out of state, lobbying for the first time. I thought one of the commissioners was flirting with me, so I stupidly considered leveraging that. I even gave him my hotel card, but he never came," one user said.

2. She spilled hundreds of hardware pieces down a hill.

cottonbro studio

"It was my first day with a new theater company as their master carpenter. Our shop was multiple buildings away from the theater, and we had to haul our tools and hardware over in shopping carts," a user recalled.

"I tipped over the shopping cart with all the containers of screws, bolts, and so on. Hundreds of little bits of hardware, all down the side of a hill."

3. She accidentally said "love you" to her team.

Edmond Dantès

"I was multitasking on a call and, in the end, when everyone said goodbye, I blurted out, 'Bye, love you!' to the entire team. I was humiliated," another user detailed.

4. She accidentally messaged her own boss about her lackluster raise.

Anna Shvets

"I was working in customer service, and I asked my supervisor for a raise because I was 'error free' and my call time states were pretty good. I had told my coworker (we were both in our early twenties) that I had asked for the raise, too. We were very open about our salaries," remembered one user.

"A couple of weeks later, my supervisor called me over to her cubicle. I sent an IM [instant message] to my coworker and said, 'Supervisor wants to talk to me. Called me over to her desk. I think I got the raise!' Spoiler: I did. It was just like $0.75 an hour or something dumb, but still, I was happy to get a raise," she continued.

"Immediately after, I messaged my coworker again and said something like, 'Yep, I got the raise. It's not as much as I would have liked, but oh well." I sent this to my supervisor and not my coworker. I heard my supervisor laugh and immediately go talk to the manager. I was so embarrassed."

5. She had a bucket of water dumped on her.

cottonbro studio

"Something that happened to me years ago: a woman dropped a bucket of rainwater on my head," revealed a user.

"She wasn't looking down; she meant to do it to one of my coworkers who used to leave trash by her door. She apologized, but still."

6. She fell off her chair (in front of her supervisor).

MART PRODUCTION

"I was working at a park district part-time and I sat at the front desk. One day, I got up to get something from another room. I come back, sit on my chair, and lean back," one user explained.

"I guess I leaned too far back, so I ended up falling on my tailbone. My supervisor was right there. I was like a couple of weeks in, too."

7. She made up her own phonetic alphabet.

Keira Burton

"I was trying to say the phonetic alphabet for a follow-up claim. I had the letter 'Y,' and the only word I could think of was, 'Yam!'" a user said.

"I laugh about it now, and I made the IT guy laugh, so win-win? But I definitely embarrassed myself at the moment."

8. She hit "reply all" while calling someone a jerk.

Mikael Blomkvist

"I hit 'reply all' in an email calling someone out for being a jerk. Ten years later, it's a department inside joke," a final user admitted.

A new Trader Joe’s skincare find just hit shelves, and beauty fans are already reeling about its similarities to more luxury products! The night cream features a handful of ingredients that are commonly found in pricier skincare options, but this TJ’s pick costs a fraction of its suspected competitors.

As a Versed Sweet Relief overnight cream loyalist (I use it every single day without fail), I must say I'm thoroughly convinced to try this new Trader Joe’s item after reading shoppers’ reactions!

Scroll on to discover the all-new Trader Joe’s skincare product worth adding to your routine!

Reddit

Trader Joe’s Night Cream is a brand-new addition to their collection of skincare goodies. In fact, it’s so new that it’s not listed on their website quite yet. Despite its newcomer status, tons of shoppers are already buzzing about the Trader Joe’s Night Cream.

Reddit

One TJ’s fan on Reddit surfaced the new find on the r/TraderJoe’s subreddit, and skincare lovers were super quick to chime in.

Per the post, the Trader Joe’s Night Cream is formulated with Irish sea moss extract, a fermented mushroom complex, ceramides, and sodium hyaluronate. It’s also unscented, which can be super beneficial for sensitive skin in need of moisture.

The TJ’s fan that found the night cream on shelves reported that it is “very thick but dry at the same time. I really had to work it into the skin,” they said. “Very odd consistency.”

Another shopper that tried the Trader Joe’s Night Cream weighed in on their experience:

“Using it sparingly since I’m quite pregnant and don’t want to mess with sensitive skin but so far it’s quite nice!” they said. “Thick but not greasy in the slightest. I still feel it on my skin when I rinse my face in the AM which means it held up overnight in my dry altitude climate.”

Several more users compared this new TJ’s formula to other products on the market, mentioning Asian beauty and even retinol for its anti-aging benefits.

“It’s interesting to see all the fermented ingredients in this!” one person commented. “I know that they have been very popular in Asian skincare for years, but I don’t see it that often in the States. I’m excited to try this! Thanks for sharing, I’m going to be on the lookout now.”

“Based on the ingredients list, I suspect this might be a Korean product,” another TJ’s shopper agreed.

“Irish Sea Moss is considered an excellent retinol alternative so if it agrees with one’s skin, not a bad option for those who can’t tolerate or don’t want harsh actives,” one more skincare fan noted.

One Redditor confirmed that a single 2-ounce jar of the Trader Joe’s Night Cream cost just $9. Similar moisturizers that leverage sea moss in their formulas (like Wildling’s Moonbounce 2% Bioretinol Irish Sea Moss Plumping Moisturizer and MARA's SeaDream Algae Crème) average around $73, which is insane.

This TJ’s find could be a great way to try out the sea moss skincare wave without shelling out a fortune! Per episode 87 of The Inside Trader Joe's Podcast, it’s certifiably “high-quality” and “incredibly functional.”

What is 'The Husbands' about?

Amazon

The Husbands chronicles one woman's journey as she explores an ever-changing life with different men she's never met before. But this isn't a tale of reckless one-night stands. On the contrary, Lauren will be as confused as readers and viewers because she's not sure what's happening.

It all begins with her return to her home and the realization that a man who's strangely familiar with her is calling himself her husband. Unbeknownst to her, she's been married to Michael for a while despite not knowing who he is. What's even more ironic is that her friends think something's wrong with her because they know who her husband is.

In the midst of trying to decipher this phenomenon, Lauren's shocked when Michael disappears into the attic and a new man returns in his place. As she watches her surroundings change to accommodate life with him, Lauren slowly realizes her attic has created a portal that allows her to live out different fantasies with a revolving door of men. But, she'll have to ask herself what she really wants and if she's willing to hang on to one reality instead of wishing for more.
