Thank you for your input! You are right in that I have no deep desire to move ( beyond a desire for more development projects and higher compensation ). I enjoy my job, and the industry it is in, I enjoy my colleagues and the company. I couldn't ask for a better group of people to be surrounded by. >> I'd definitely bring up comp change, but first determine if a transition is possible That is a very good point which I hadn't given much thought to! Although I'm not sure there is much chance of doing more development orientated work with they way things are structured. The team I am a part of, it's sole purpose is to support the marketing teams and their objectives. The development projects have been initiated and lead by me, a team of one. To make small tools to speed up internal processes, and to replace and migrate 10+ year old partner facing service ( it was shambles, functionally and legally ). Management have acknowledged the advantage and benefit of what I have done, and they have allowed some flexibility when doing it, but as these types of things are outside of the core purpose of my role they likely wont support them too much. Certainly not higher up the chain I would think. I will arrange a meeting with my direct manager in the coming weeks, nothing bad can come of it. I have little faith in negotiating larger compensation, as it stands I believe I earn the same as my manager ( HR let it slip 2 years ago ). Budgets, raises and bonus' are all tightly controlled... Thank you again!
