I was recently laid off along with >30% of the company. I really liked the job, I had full autonomy to do whatever I wanted. Research new tech, optimize our existing infrastructure, etc. I was the sole SysAdmin and I ran the operations very well. The problem: Pay was stagnate. The pay was decent for my region, but a far cry from larger metro areas and others with my skills. So I started looking online and found a great opportunity. As a bonus: The pay is $50k+ MORE then what I was making before. And I still work from home. So, yes I did feel underpaid; now I don't.
