In my annual review, my supervisor mentioned they are planning to give me a raise as I completed one year with the company. No promotion. No bonus. It came out to be $1/hr raise i.e $80 more per paycheck bi-weekly. I feel stuck and sad that I can’t make a move as they are planning to sponsor my h1b next year and it’ll be my last attempt at the lottery. Yoe: 2 Tc: 🥜 #tech #salary #raise
Assuming about 100k base, and that you are talking post-tax, it’s about $30/hour. So a $1/hour increment is about 3%. This is very typical for annual raise across the industry - when you don’t get a promotion or bonuses. Yeah, LC hard and prep and move to a different place - but your situation is not entirely unheard of.
@3dEyeBlind As much as I appreciate your privileged thinking, I’m not a SD. I’m a ME in mid west. Our base is way below than what you mentioned. And yes, lowballing is not entirely unheard of.
So Amazon example is good, you got more than 3% raise if you do under 100k
tell us how much is your 🥜
Congratulations
Be mad and use it as fuel for your journey.

Did he tell you the raise per hour or this is your math skills? What is your TC, role , location ? If you are outside USA, 80$ could be a lot. Stop complaining and thank your employer for sponsoring your visa. Or find another employer to sponsor your visa and give you 50% raise every year
Eh bro simping for your employer aint gonna get you anywhere stop it
He’s at Cisco—can’t blame him with all that boomer back-in-my-day energy
It’s reality my friend, what’s the percentage increment ?
It’s reality if that’s what you make it. Don’t be complacent.
So $4160 raise per year?
Leetcode. And try to get out. Also, start prepping for Canada residency. Don't wait on that for too long. I feel like I've heard a ton of stories where people cling on to that last visa attempt and don't prep for the worst case scenario. This is the right time for you to start that process.
