I had 1:1 with my director and I said that I was not very happy with my perf review and with compensation numbers and that even though I had so many very noticeable achievements during the year I got much less money then some of my peers. He started explaining some bs how hard it was for him to promote me last year to ICT4 and so on(even though many of my lower performers peers got promoted recently!), it sounded like I should just close my mouth, be happy with what I got and keep working hard. Does it seem like I should leave that place? This year TC after performance review: Base 180k, RSU refresher 100k, cash bonus 25k, Cupertino Edit: this is for automation testing role total yoe 7, at Apple 4.5 Edit: I thought it’s not important and didn’t mention he said he has a high-impact, high-visibility project he wants me to assign to in a very near future.
You played your hand. You can’t play it without being willing to leave
I’m willing to leave but later, most-likely next year. Not sure if that conversation with senior director will have negative impact somehow though.
Then you over played your hand and they will call your bluff
Wtf what’s your yoe ? That’s low pay
5 years
Definitely time to leave… Even if you got a raise I doubt it would your TC would be anywhere near what you will get if you hop
it seems you got low-balled when you started. thats too low for your exp.
Most-likely, but I have been performing very well, why wouldn’t they increase my TC then. They can always give me higher refreshers even if I was lowballed right.
In my experience, accepting a low-ball while joining indicates to the company that the employee is insecure about their worth or have some other personal compulsions, because of which they are willing to work for lesser amount of money. So such employees continue to get paid lesser in raises, promotions, etc., because the company knows that the employee is okay with working for lesser money. Such employees are finally able to increase their salary substantially only during negotiations after putting in resignation, or more often, by jumping to another company
Leave for better pastures, OP.
OP MEANS?

Show them with action. Leave ! Boomerang later if you wish but lurk anymore.
In the current economic situation, I would be happy that I got something. Don’t have resentments. It will eat you up from inside. Take this opportunity to coast and prep for interview once economy picks up. It will puck up, once the moron in the WH is gone.
👍
I don't think that's how it works mane. But, shurrr
Yes you should leave…but probably have to wait till next year now to get a good offer
Why till next year?
Midterms, @PayPal
What’s you job profile?
Automation testing
HWTE or SWE?
Why sr dir talking to an ict4? Does he talk to all ict4s+ ? What’s your org?
Seems like you’re under appreciated
Why? Op can switch to higher paying role if they have the skills, test can’t be paid at the same level of what is being tested.
He's doing automated testing, so he has dev skills. Honestly, developers should write their own tests it's ridiculous to have a separate role for underappreciated people
