Don't stick around hoping things will get better. It most likely won't. Even if the company turns things around financially, it will likely either take too long to trickle down to you or they'll continue thinking they can keep getting away with less. I've done that waiting game a couple of times before, and regretted it both times. Job market seems to be super hot right now. Turn on your LinkedIn 'open to work' switch and hopefully it'll be like me and your inbox will suddenly get swarmed with recruiters. I'm not even in a major tech market.
