How often do you hear of a programmer saving a company millions of dollars/thousands of man-hours and receiving no reward for it? All the time!
Excellent performance (saving the company ~$3MM) at my last job merited me a 15% raise. Learning and applying negotiation skills made that an 80% raise. Presentation matters.

I'm not trying to criticize your post, but I hope someone could point out why I read it so wrongly -- if there are attributes why make it more likely to be read that way, or if there's something flawed in my perception.
- SatvikBeri 15y agoI am agreeing with the parent and disagreeing with the grandparent post. I think the confusion comes from the "How often do you..." which is frequently used sarcastically-although in my case I meant it literally.
