I used to think that too but at the end of the day if you don't ask you don't get. Doesn't matter how you wish things were.
- hamburglar 5y agoFor what it’s worth, I have literally never asked for a raise in 30 years and have had my pay double in the span of two years at multiple companies. I am an individual contributor making an embarrassingly good total comp. Maybe the key is that deep down, I keep trying to provide value commensurate with what they pay me, and I never feel like I get there.
