One thing that really sucks about "Big Corporate" is that raises and bonuses are typically pretty standard no matter performance of that individual. You do amazing and save the company $100 million? Great, 4% bonus! Do the bare minimum to get by? Great, 2% bonus! And then there is the standard raise which will keep up with inflation, if you're lucky. The only way I've found to get a big raise is to either have another job offer in hand and negotiate or get promoted.
- mothsonasloth 8y agoInteresting, sounds like these are places you can do the bare minimum and do alright.

I don't work after I leave work (with incredibly rare exceptions), I get 25 days of PTO and the ability to work remote as needed. The work is boring but I do side projects on my own outside of work to keep my skills sharp and to scratch my "exciting" coding itch.
