[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to jump around. Until 2022 i had spent eleven years at a job, dutifully collecting annual raises. Sure I was promoted 3 times in that time span, but the nights & weekends and stress were not worth it.

So I jumped around a bit. My comp package is 60% higher today ($300K) than the dutiful loyal job I left ($185K). That’s the game these days. You’re a company of one: You. That’s your brand. [/quote]

Yeah - I hate to acknowledge this but it's true. I enjoy my team and work and company but am cognizant that if I want significant pay increases I'll need to jump ship rather than waiting dutifully for a promotion. I am giving this role one more year and will push for a promotion by next year but if it's not forthcoming I'll start looking around.

To OP, I got stellar reviews this year but only a 2.5% merit increase. It was accompanied by a 5% over and beyond bonus but the bonus base is only 10% of salary. Working your a@@ off only takes you so far. You have to move around too if you want to go up the ladder. Hit your ideal salary target and then ride it out till retirement. [/quote]
