and thanks for sharing. Also in IT and also haven’t received a raise in 2.5 years ‘because of the market’, but don’t have the stones you have sir.


Some here. Same exact position here. I got a promotion in title, but the monetary raise part is truly laughable. Like you, I didn’t have to stones to quit but I’ve been looking and have put myself in a position where I’ll be safe of my position gets eliminated, which it is. The stones/decision part looks like it’s being made for me. I have a job interview tomorrow that I’m really excited about. I’ve passed some certifications recently and the promotion ‘title’ should help in that regard. It’ll work out, but I have been completely taken advantage of for the last 2 years because I was dedicated and kinda scared of change. But, I did use the forced remote due to Covid to relocate cities.

The SO is in IT, is good where he’s at, and is now looking at a significant raise because some on his team have left to chase some other opportunities and the corporation is freaking out a bit. He could’ve found something pretty easy (he gets offers a lot) but felt the benefits (healthcare, retirement) he gets where he’s at offsets any raise he’d receive at a smaller company.
