Is there a level and career path where you see people stop prioritizing compensation? I'm mid career right now and that's still my main concern when evaluating a new job. If so, what is it usually about?

Same here. I also don't buy "you'll be promoted in a very short time" promises anymore. These are hardly decisions taken by the people promising it.

From what I see, compensation rarely stops mattering. It just stops being the only thing. Mid career is exactly when pay is often the top priority and that is normal. Later on, some people start weighing scope, impact, flexibility, leadership quality, and long term growth just as much. It is less about a level and more about life stage and goals changing.

Interesting! I think it still boils down to compensation in a way, but being more strategic about it? Once you are at an advanced stage, you know that a well paid rabbit hole is going to be worse than an medium-highly paid open to opportunities position? Is that so?

Hi,

May I know what is a good salary for a R&D project engineer(2 YOE) in a semiconductor industry in Belgium?

So I've been at my job for 5+ years as a data analyst/back office support team. I made my way up into making a little over $40k. I've been WFH the past 2 yrs and overtime more than half my team has now been pulled out to work for a diff department which resulted in me taking 90% of our daily tasks to handle. I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.

Has anyone found a way to automate salary certifications?

We get about 3-5 requests daily to fill out salary certifications for our employees in EMEA.

At the moment, we have to do all of them manually. We open a pdf, then open their employee file and plug away. It's tedious and time-consuming, but the banks I found won't accept an internal salary certification for some reason. They're adamant about using their form. Has anyone come across this?
