Ask HN: Why did you leave your job?
Assuming you have resigned from a role in the past, what were your motivating factors?
Follow up questions: Did your employer have a realistic chance of making you stay? If so, how?
- emteycz 6y agoEither I was not compensated properly (= somebody offered more than the current employer did) or the work(place) was not good. So no realistic chance.
- phonebucket 6y agoWhy no realistic chance? Was the work environment rotten and static? Was a raise not possible?
- sushshshsh 6y agoI'm not that guy but I've never, in my 10+ year career, seen someone get a raise in that method. I've barely seen anyone get a raise, and they've always been system generated.
- emteycz 6y agoWhen I said somebody else offered more, I meant even more than a raise would cover. Like the other commenter said, significant raises similar to jobhopping are a very unusual thing. Yes, some places where I worked were very rotten, and with me not being in the HQ but in an 'eastern' (European) office, also no chance of changing that from my position.
