I worked for 3 years in a landscaping company. I do a lot of things: customer service, billing and operations. the company did a job to my house recently and my boss said it was probono, ( I paid my materials). when i try to leave the company the excuse he told me why he never even consider a raise for me was because I got a free job and I needed to compensate. he never told me about that arrangement. he got scare when I try to leave and went from 15h to 20h. should I try finding another job?

Offering to do your landscaping probono and then using it against you isn't cool. Plus, you paid for materials... That should just be a perk of working for their company, and they should be happy to do it for a valued employee. Don't let them make you feel otherwise. Sounds like you're an asset there and should be compensated accordingly.

Holding something over your head is not going to work out. How long before it’s ‘paid off’? 5 years down the road, and they are still bringing it up? That would drive me crazy. Fair enough if that’s how they had it in their head, but they should be able to communicate that.

Me too, no question about that. If at all possible, I would say to have a real conversation with the boss. If you want to stay and grow there, and that’s something they are open to, great. If not, you at least have that answer.

Do you really wanna work for someone who is just treating you like a number? Or a person that’s got value..make sure you give your 2 weeks is my advice after finding a replacement job. He sounds like a controlling person who has issues.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

Ultimately he came back at 90K which is a bit inline with that I was seeing on Glassdoor but approx looks like I may leave 10-12K on the table. I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice
