My pay has gone down, accounting for inflation.

SWE Year 1, 1 year prior YOE 71k Year 2, 1% raise, 71.7k Year 3, 1.2% raise, 72.5k Year 4, .7% raise, 73k I bust my ass at work. Long hours. Always ensure our customers are happy. Always taking on more responsibility and succeeding. No promo. No decent raises. Always told “there’s no room in the budget”. We’ve had record breaking company performance every year. Since 2014 cumulative inflation means 71000 is the same spending power as 75589 this year. I’ve lost spending power due to these poor raises. How do I cope! I feel worthless working here.

The question still stands.

You already know the answer. Find a new job that will pay and treat you better. I left my last job because I didn’t get RSU refreshers. Why still loyal to intel bud?

Can you leetcode? If not, get started, if so then wtf are you doing?

Sony BGmK54 Dec 13, 2018

With such low TC he is not able to buy premium...

Oracle hamidooo Dec 13, 2018

Your TC sucks to be honest. Come to oracle you will get a slightly higher TC but with way better WLB.

Get out of Intel.

Intel gtfo.intel OP Dec 14, 2018

I’m trying. It’s hard to leetcode with 60 hour weeks.

Google merin Dec 14, 2018

Dude, duck that company. Stop working so hard. Start phoning it in. Study and get out. Why do you care about your rating at that shithole?

Intel Intelegacy Dec 13, 2018

This is quite normal in Intel. Basically they treat us as full time contractors

Sony BGmK54 Dec 13, 2018

Intel sucks with salaries and these Green Badges policy...

Is this monthly?

Intel Intelegacy Dec 13, 2018

If it had been monthly he wouldn’t have whined about it. One thing I don’t understand is he is top contributor why the heck he didn’t realize sooner is what I am wondering about

Sure anyone would be frustrated with stagnant growth.
