How long are the periods where you’ve stayed at the same salary? For me it’s been 4 yrs and even though I’ve gotten some job offers for slightly more, it didn’t feel justified moving. I do wonder if this comes to my skillset then or if it’s just a bad market now.

Three years. Then I finally had enough and quit. Sometimes the only way to get a raise is to move on.

I guess I may be coming to that soon

17 years, yes, I know 'like what the H', but I was comfortable in the at first. After the pandemic ended I realized I wasn't really making ends meet and needed a raise and better work hours.
The Director was no help at all so I planned my exit. Within 2 weeks I had a new job with a generous pay increase and the work hours I wanted.

I once went six years without a raise. Company policies was, no raises without asking. So each year, I'd get too nervous and think they'd fire me if I asked. I was basically taking a year-over-year pay cut. Now I ask every year.

Are they receptive to you asking? Do you get meaningful raises?

I’m at the same base I was 4 years ago.

My bonus multiplier has increased each year.
My equity grants are refreshed annually.

I’ve looked around and only one company has been able to come close to my TC but they wanted me to relocate. Hard no.

And yes, in many cases the market is just bad right now.

Like my work, love my team.

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role. I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
