You make a good point. I'm relatively new to the industry (3.5 years) and this is job #2. I grew up poor, so I'm still in awe when I see how much I make – I guess I just don't know the etiquette here. It seems, according to the signal I'm getting from new offers, that I'm worth 25-35% more than I'm being compensated for. Particularly, it's interesting to see these new numbers without having volunteered my salary info. It seems like there is a ton of risk to asking for a raise based on other offers (admitting I'm interviewing elsewhere would probably scare my current employer), but also my current company is well-funded and I don't think it would impose a burden on them. I'm in a unique enough of a position to feel relatively safe right now (it's definitely sort of hard to hire right now). Any ideas?
- PaulHoule 5y agoIf you have gotten better offers why are you still there?
- WFHRenaissance 5y agoThe offers are relatively new FWIW. I'm in the midst of a project at the moment, which is the company's premiere project (greenfielding a core system). I'd kind of feel bad ditching mid-project.
