Worth it to fight for higher TC?
No longer at Lockheed, I was there for an entry level position for 1 year. I’m at a small startup where I work remotely.
I’ve been at this new company 1.5 years and while the work is cool, I’ve decided that I want to start the process to leave. However, that’ll take time because interview prepping, interviewing, etc will take a few months at least. I also want to be more picky this time. When I left Lockheed it was so I could get out of defense ASAP and also relocate (family/partner reasons) which this job allowed me to do. So for all those reasons, it’ll likely be a longer job search. The main reasons I want to leave here are that when I started, I felt like my TC was fair. However, now, I’ve grown exponentially (my manager even agreed) and I wear so many hats. But the raise I got this past July was laughable (less than 3% like wtf). The amount I make right now does not reflect my capabilities. I know looking for a new job is the right thing, HOWEVER I don’t know if it’s worth fighting for more money while I bide my time here.
