Really? I have had 3 jobs in my 7 year career as a developer. In each job, I have always given 110%, solved every problem given to me, and been 'the guy' who can fix things quickly when they break.
I'm a PHP developer by trade, recently our iPhone developer quit. I learnt Objective C in 2 weeks and am now maintaining two large iPhone apps as well as doing my PHP duties as a senior dev.
I have never asked for a raise, in my first job I started on 30k and was on 80k in 1 year (new zealand dollars). In my second job I started on 40k pounds and was on 50k in 6 months. In my current job (been here 3 months) I'm looking at a 20% pay increase in the next month.
Never asked for a raise. I just shine and get the karma back.
- elliottcarlson 15y agoYour experience will vary from company to company - while my initial post mentioned the company that I had to fight to get a review at, I later on worked at a company for over 4 years where I was given a yearly raise that exceeded the percentage cap that was in place - I was appreciated and they made sure to show me. Every company and every boss is different - it's great when you work for the good places.
- Natsu 15y agoI've never had to ask for raises either, but I honestly think that's more likely to be a sign that I'm underpaid for what I do. Not that I'm ungrateful to my boss for fighting to get me them.
