DH is making 120k.  Yep with a masters degree and 20 years of experience.  Pretty sure that’s underpaid for computer programming  field.[/quote]

You sound like a nag. Complaining about $120K. SMFH[/quote]

Eh, it's not a lot considering there is no 401K match which OP mentioned earlier - that's huge and will affect their retirement.  He should at least look into jobs that provide better benefits, maybe in the same pay range.  No raise in 7 years is a huge red flag too.  If he was getting incremental increases (at least COL) and some 401K, I would say just leave him be.  But he's in a dead end.  What happens in 5 years when the company changes hands again and he gets laid off?  No one will offer him any type of job.[/quote]

I am the PP and I will add, I say this as someone who has been at their job for 15 years.  But I have gotten three promotions, get a huge 401K match and additional retirement payment, have an excellent boss who is incredibly flexible and get anywhere from 3-10% pay increases every year.  That makes it worth staying.  If I wasn't moving up internally and the company didn't have great benefits, I'd be out the door.[/quote]
