I started earning a lot more when I moved to the city to be a small animal vet. But the difference is not too much, maybe an extra 20K per year. What changed a lot was my workload, mixed practice was more stressful for me.

It was not really that significant. I moved to a smaller town so maybe that is why.

I had a 5% increase. Well, not bad. The culture is okay. I'm just so lucky to have a a great boss here.

It’s been more than 10 days and multiple follow ups but still no response. I don’t think I was rude while talking to the HR, I just told my current salary and asked for min. that no. Did i miss the chance ?
