    Good? I’m definitely not making what I should be, adjusted for inflation (23.6%). I’m not even asking to make MORE just literally what I made in 2018, adjusted. I was fine right there.

      If the company doesn’t pay you fairly for your work, you throttle down your work.

        No, that’s a total shit attitude. You jump ship if you’re not fairly compensated. I went from $14 -> $18-22 -> $39 (+mad benefits with each move, 10-years).

        Build your skills and education, JUMP. FFS, young people act like they’re being used by these companies. Instead, use them.

        Young and old, we all know lifetime careers at the same company is a thing of the past. Fuck. Them. Use them for resume ammo and jump if you’re not happy.

        Well, yes and no. The work is easy, my manager is great, I have complete control of the code and two juniors to do shit I don’t want to. So, it has perks. But…. They’re gonna have to step it up, because after another year or two here I’ll have quite an impressive list of accomplishments as a lead developer, and that could easily move me up and out.

        I’m gonna wait until November to see if I have to jump ship to Canada though.
