If your salary hasnt changed in 3 years, youre at least a year overdue for a company change

Then do something about things that are in your control. Job hop. Learn an in-demand skill. Ask for a raise. Start a side gig.

If your salary hasn’t changes in 3 years it might be time to start searching for a new job. Unless you are in a sales role that is heavily based on commissions which your effort drives, I don’t know of any companies that don’t at least give out merit raises annually even on non-promotion years.

I would offer to refer you to my firm if we had anything for you. Salary not changing in three years is a good sign to leave. Especially in this economy

Oh my god. You haven’t had an increase in three years!?? You’ve probably lost 20% of your income buying power due to inflation. Look at the market to see what someone in your position would typically make and ask for a raise or find another job.
