[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Job hopping is what kept bumping my pay over the last 4 years.

I was at a company for about 7 years and only got the standard 2-5% raise depending on the year. I loved my job and the company. I was raised with a loyalty mentality by my parents. Then I saw a job posting for a job in my department with a starting salary of $8k higher than mine. I asked my supervisor to match that salary and he did. I know it sounds dumb, but a lightbulb clicked for me that staying loyal was dumb if I could make more money somewhere else.

I started looking and found a job in my industry with a starting salary of around $10k more than mine. I applied. I went through the interview rounds. I got the job. I asked my supervisor to match but he couldn't so I left. That was in fall 2019.

In summer 2020 a woman I was working with left the company and reached out a few weeks later to let me know there was an opening at her new company that she thought I'd be great for, and it was more money. I tossed my resume out there and ended up getting the job. That pay raise bumped me to $130k.

When I see a job opening in my field with a starting pay more than mine, I apply. Screw loyalty.

My dad thinks it looks irresponsible but honestly, he worked his way up through the company he was with for 40 years to a VP position with no education, just experience under his belt. He retired early with a pension and partial healthcare. Those are things very few companies even offer these days. [/quote]

How often do you stay in a role after a promotion? I was promoted almost a year ago. I got the salary I requested, but I'm beginning to think I undersold myself and can make more elsewhere based on job postings. However, I want some time to show I'm effective in this role. Is a year enough? 2? more? I've been with this company for 8 years now, but this promotion was a big one.[/quote]
