Thoughts on working at Messari?
I have 4 years of experience in devops and got an offer from eaton . I am curious to know about the company how is the work culture for women employees.Also I am confused in eaton technology and eaton innovation center which is the best as there are confusing reviews .
It will be great if anyone can help Eaton

Yep. lol.
I remember when a raise actually meant you could treat yourself a little or save more. Now it's like cool, that covers the electric bill increase. It used to feel motivating. Lately, it feels like running on a treadmill.
Yes I had to get a title change with a 11k increase in salary to really see take home pay increase.
Yeah, I think so if you’re not a high performer.
I got 4% and that was better than average for our back office support folks
My latest increase felt like a raise, as everything I could control (mortgage, car payment, phone, utility usage) stayed essentially the same. Yes, food and insurance went up, but at least food allows me to change my buying habits. I also cut the cord on my cable when I changed internet providers, which offset the food increases. What adjustments can you make to reduce costs, which will make the raise feel like a raise.
I would love to get a 6% raise. Most of my annual merit raises about been around 2.5-3.5% in recent years.
Only time I have gotten more than that is when I actually got a promotion.
We have cut some of our memberships and subscriptions. Luckily we don't have credit card debt or car payments, and that helps.
