I'm crushing my quota, nailing complex deals, but my raise was a joke. Feeling like the work vs. compensation balance is seriously tipped in the wrong direction. Anyone else out there feel the same?

I was the number one SE for my entire global organization. I even developed the successful GTM strategy and messaging that won for the whole company. Apparently this was a threat to the new leadership that was brought in. And not only did they not give me a raise. They laid me off the very next day after winning the largest deal of the year. So yeah, I feel the same way. They let go tens of thousands of us in Silicon Valley. And know that there’s a line of desperate, unemployed SE’s willing to take our place for pennies on the dollar. And corporate leadership just looks at us as cells on a spreadsheet. Congrats on being employed and getting a raise at all. I totally feel your pain.

Ouch

How much was your raise?

Hi Everyone,
I have a query. Not sure if this is the right forum for it, but let me just ask it here.
I have completed my B.Tech. on 2020 and got a job in an MNC with a 3.8LPA, but due to COVID, the onboarding was delayed to Feb 2021. During this time, I had enrolled myself for a distance M.Tech. degree.
I recently joined a new company with a 10.1LPA a month back.
Just two weeks back, my M.Tech. degree is completed.
Should I have some increment in my new company as to my M.Tech. completion?

Currently a Solutions Consultant at Pegasystems.

I am interviewing at and considering making a jump to
Oracle as a Specialist Solutions Consultant.

The reason for my move is currently at Pega SCs are treated more as AEs or Account Managers. The role at Oracle would be more of a true SC position. I also feel that Oracle will look BETTER on a resume and someone as young as me would have BETTER programs in place to train me and give me the foundation needed to be a successful SC.

Thoughts?
