I had something similar happen. I lined up a second job that was offering almost double the pay. And my current company was just at a loss they couldn't even offer me online work it was just like a goodbye. Though now I've kind of hit a paid cap for my particular field so I doubt that golden moment will happen again
I think that's the point where I'd start considering trying to find something else in the same company. If I can make lateral moves for pay raises, I'd prefer that to toeing the company line and hoping they're nice enough/like me enough to promote me
And that's exactly what I'm doing 👍. Going for that senior role. While trying to avoid management lol
Me too. Trying to get to R&D or Integration and Testing but it's gonna be a while
I had that happen to a team member (me as a manager). She came to give me notice, the pay jump was huge. 45k to 70k. I loved her and I tried to swing it with my boss, but the ultimate answer was no and she left. I hope she is happy now. She really was awesome and I wish she stayed working for me, but I'm happy for her. She was a single mom to 2 teenagers so there's no way she couldn't accept that money
