42.5%... Yesterday actually, so I got that going for me.

It's fascinating to watch employers undervalue its current employees and then have to replace and retrain. Easy to take for granted those that are already on board.

Agreed... I was pretty much given the reins in my second year. We’ll have maybe one strategic meeting per quarter to stay on the same page, but other than that, I do it how I want... I just finished my 5th year and we’ve had a lot of success, especially the last two years, but I’ve only gotten one raise and it was like 5%.

Now, I was treated well with bonuses, once got a 70+% bonus, but I needed more stability as I move into the having kids portion of my life, so I finally had to go have a heart to heart, and I basically told him I didn’t want to leave but we were going to have to do something with my base or I was going to have to look around. He knew it was coming and we hashed it out in about 5 minutes.
