I haven't received a raise in over two years. When I bring it up, my supervisor says there is no money in the budget. Am I a sucker for believing him? ...I feel like a sucker

I think the bigger question is what will you do whether it's true or not. Unfortunately, you can't force the company to give you a raise. Have you started job hunting to see if you can find a higher salary elsewhere?

I would start looking for another job. A lack of raise is always unacceptable, but especially in this economy.

Yup you are, always hop after two years if thats yhe case

I suppose they could be telling the truth but it’s not likely. If you were valuable, they pay for you. Look for another job and when you put your notice in see if they offer you raise then. If they do, you know they were lying.

I don’t know this seems like the case everywhere. Would try interviewing and seeing if they can give you a bump

Best way to see what the market is paying is to interview and leave when an offer comes in.

What I found for myself is that I’m already well above market, so I’m still here. 😁

D1, Yep. They might be able to come close on base but a 50% bonus multiplier (that usually pays out at 125%-150%) was tough.

Also, while I understand that unvested RSUs aren’t real money yet, watching $1.5M zero out would hurt my soul. That’s where other companies, including FAANG, can’t match.

I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
