I had the exact same situation. When I left they said how much do we have to pay to get you to stay. I literally told them that there is no amount I don't want to work for a company that won't pay me what they think I'm worth. The next job I took I got a 25% pay increase, and the job after that I got another 30% pay increase. At my current company I've gotten a bigger raise every year than I ever would have asked for and occasional bonuses.
- hopler 8y agoYour 2nd company didn't pay you what you are worth so clearly you so choose to work for companies like that.

- tenpoundhammer 8y agoThe second company in this anecdote folded my entire division after I had been working there a year. I had no idea I could get another 30% increase, it was a happy accident. And maybe before this job I couldn’t have got that pay increase.
