[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH has been with the same job for 20 years.  It’s his first job coming out of college.  I’ve been trying to push him to switch to a different company for more than a decade and he sporadically applies to a few jobs once in a blue moon but nothing has come out of it.  His current company has switched hands several times and he has not gotten a raise in 7 years.  Benefits are subpar with no 401k matching.  His field is computer programming so should be in demand yet somehow he’s ok working 8+ hours being severely underpaid for his field.  I can’t understand why I need to push him to leave at all!! Is anyone or know anyone who’s in this type of situation?  [/quote]

Your DH is a 40 year old programmer. He should be happy he has a job still. Ageism is vile in tech, after 30 you better move in to business development or management or you are canned. Many programmers are NOT GOOD at BD and manage (I mean they are computer geeks, I’m one too). So don’t look a gift horse in a mouth. If he has stuck this long, he is likely a known quantity. Is he at a govt contractor?[/quote]
