I worked my butts off as a senior engineer for the past 4 years and my salary compensation barely changed, even when my picture was on the wall consistently as one of the best performers. Hunted for jobs like a mad man, got an offer with a 200% hike.

If you're underpaid, always look for a switch.

Yes I heard this advice once and I never looked back. If you are not being valued by your company always look for some place else. There are always better compensation when you are diligent in looking for them

It amazed me how did you even managed to reach 4 years under those circumstances. I am happy you found a job that pays fairly for your talents' worth.

I actually enjoyed the work and had little to no commitments so I did not bother looking

Definitely. You deserve better and you made the right decision. This could be the sign I've been waiting for.

I can't stress this enough. You will have lower pay if you tolerate companies that are not willing to pay. Switch it up and get that bag!

Wow. This is really encouraging. Thank you for this.
