- cbanek 4y agoMicrosoft used this TLA as well.
- giantg2 4y agoI don't think they have it at my company. Or maybe nobody was nice enough to tell me. That might explain being just a midlevel after 10 years and a masters...
- wccrawford 4y agoIf you're still being paid like a mid-level dev after 10 years, you owe it to yourself to look for a new job and get a massive pay raise. My original plan was to stay 3 years at my first company, and then change jobs for a raise. I ended up staying 5 because they gave me great raises for the first 3... And then screwed me on 2 years, at which point I knew I should have left at 3 after all. After that it gets murkier, but in general if you aren't seeing really nice pay raises every 3 years, you can get it by changing companies.
- giantg2 4y agoI don't have the skills to change jobs and I have some home life restrictions too. At this point I'd rather just quiet quit.
- wwilim 4y agoThere are plenty of fish in the sea. Change jobs and see if that helps. It might remedy the burnout as well.
