Yeah, sorry, that's how the world works. Why am I going to give you more responsibility if I'm not sure that you can handle it? Do the job, get the job. You come off as extremely entitled. Honestly, I'd be happy that you left.

> You come off as extremely entitled. Honestly, I'd be happy that you left. Easy to say, hard when its a sellers market. Maybe when the tech labor market softens? Otherwise, you see a 10-20% bump by moving immediately, rather than wasting a year of your life making less than you could.

  Sure, if I really needed you. I'd also be looking to ditch you as soon as I could. I'd also be suspect of any resume which shows a tendency for frequent job hopping.

      I remember when looking for a new job was considered bettering yourself. Now you are labeled as one of those assholes who wants to be paid for his work.

        I think my intent has been lost along the way here. Look to the original post I responded to; this is a person who doesn't want to put in any of the up front work typically required to get a promotion with increased responsibility.

I'm guessing you're not in the UK market, because you would know the reason why you're going to give me more responsibility and pay me more before having to prove it to you: Someone else will give me that responsibility and pay me more and it'll probably take me a week to find them. I'm not talking about me specifically, but that's how most IT profiles go around here. Some areas more than others, but there's too much demand for talent that the market can't absorb it, hence the prices go up.
