I’ve helped bring in nearly $8M in revenue over the last two years—our team smashed every target, and my direct contributions have been recognized in every performance review. But my salary? It’s gone up just 3%. No bonus increase, no equity, just a pat on the back and “maybe next year.” I want to be a team player, but it's starting to feel like loyalty is costing me. Has anyone else been in this position? At what point do you stop waiting for the raise and start looking for a company that actually pays you what you're worth?

After about 3 years. I don't want to get labeled as a job hopper, but that's about as long as I'm willing to stay at one role. Raises never seem to keep pace with the increasing cost of living. The easiest way to significantly increase TC is by switching companies.

That seems to be the trend, a lot of raises fall into the low single digits category. And recognition can be hard to come by. What often happens is people get pigeonholed, and management only sees them as doing what they're currently doing. It's a tough trap to fall into, as you can wind up with a limited skill set and it becomes impossible to move up or get a decent salary bump. The best solution is usually to move on to another organization where you won't be undermined by how your current managers see you.

You need to move to somewhere that will appreciate you. 8m revenue is insane for no bonus, let alone a tiny raise

Sounds about right honestly. Salaries never match the amount of work we do and when you ask for a raise they always say its just not in the budget. Sounds to me like it is time to start looking for something new or looking to see if there is something else out there for you.

It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.
